Lot*us

This is a poem I was inspired to write a few years ago ( July 2008 to be exact).

” The past few weeks, I’ve been thinking of Lotus flowers. I often look at life through symbols. They are beautiful – and actually rise each morning out of the murky water to embrace life. Then at night they disappear back down under. They have strong roots – and some religions have actually classified them to symbolize new beginnings or letting go. Life. They remind me of life – with all its beauty and pain. While in Egypt a few years ago, I found out the lotus is a symbol of love and the sun. “

So here it is – Lot*us.

 

Centuries ago, waking up in time – there’s a sense that history caught us in its petals. Awake – asleep – she opens in the morning light. At dusk, her form closes back down into the depth of a world that shuts before eyes can see.

Enlightenment engages the soul to re-open to a sentiment – a beauty of tears and pain, until one day the love brings truth to set them free.

Ancient Egypt – haunting my roots, birthed in mud – strong in the beginning, you won’t bend or break through chaos – the world shouts. Undefiled…sinking back down until new beginnings rebirth old nights.

Blooms of water lily white foretell the sacred energy of harmony meant for you and me. Perfume purity each day for a chance to breathe in life.

Sink no more under the Nile of lies. 

Twilight harbors a distant shore far beyond where we stood – where we stand today. Midnight crossings complete the alignment of Jupiter, Earth and the sun.

The trinity of three brings me to my knees.

Hollow, unhindered, whispering for more – you and me…two stars, combust, in time. Coinciding, merging into one cosmic mass. The dark sky eternally written light for the night – guiding the way for time tables of those who are yet to appear.
