Symbol of the Black Lotus
February 9, 2009
A cold lake of dark and light,
Water that is cool and cleansing,
We are in life, a Black Lotus
Symbol of man and nature
Bonded together in love and in hate
Floating atop life's dark waters
We exist as men, paradox's all
Diverse in strength and durability
Inside us all is the power of a lotus
A symbol of Hope, Unity, and Peace
In nature it cannot be artificially grown
But greed and lust of man's harvest riches
Have brought it almost to dark extinction
To all who are lost, I found who I was in nature.
A black lotus in calm lake of turquoise blue.
