One day,
I saw a pond - in foliage....
No importance.
Next day,
a strange feeling attracted me
towards the pond.
The turning point in me,
The sight of a Bloom....
A pure pinkish bloom,
The fragile petals....
Unlike those in the florists,
Leading to temples,
Which are forced to bloom,
Didn’t cover the yellowish honey ball.
The blooms and leaves
Stretched up above water,
made me
Discover the difference between
Those aquatic greenery.
The singularly beauty of the LOTUS,
Blossomed my soul!
