The water lily
By ElaM ELITE
Surrey, Columbia

My petals unfold the stamens of gold. I float, Serenely on lily pads while ugly frogs gloat. These roots of mine are deeply stuck, In the coolest most delicious muck.

&quot;There are limitations and there are protocols and I&rsquo;ve been warned that I&rsquo;m not supposed to threaten or beg for pieces of someone&rsquo;s soul.&quot;<br /> <br /> Richard Siken, &lsquo;The Long and Short of It<br /> <br /> &quot;My mother told me I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean&quot; -unknown
