LOTUS

From afar, I was mesmerized by your beauty

With colors all so vibrant and dainty

But within you is a beautiful story

Of your struggles, a real untold journey

 

Serenity fills the air

With strangers, while enjoying  this fare

Smiling faces, throwing admiration to an heir

And you, like a lovely maiden, oh so fair

 

When suddenly dark cloud appears

And Rain dropping furiously like flying spears

There was chaos, and then there were fears

People running for shelter, alone or some with their peers

 

But amidst the chaos

The thunder and the storms

You stood sturdy, holding such norms

A life proving worth in its magical forms

 

After the shift, with pride you glow

Unfaltering courage that rarely show

How you've risen up from your own hollow

Now taking the sun's rays as your halo

 

Keep on, keep rising

To people's life, continue to give meaning

Seasons will keep changing

But you, you will be unending
