Lotus … See me

See me at the bottom of the pond. Tight, bound, but glowing inside. See me.

See the life that begs to believe, to desire, to be lived. See me.

See me as I make my way through the muck and darkness. See me.

See me look up, the sun rays beaming through the surface. See me.

See me as I make my way to a life, of joy and beauty. See me.

See me as I poke through the water. See me.

See me as I open up for all to see. See me.

See me as I float on the surface yet tethered beneath in solid stance. See me.

See me as I accept all of your visions of awe as you walk by me. See me.

See me as you stop, and we bask in each other’s glory. See me.

See me, as the tight core loosens, slowly, at my own pace, to greet the world with
open arms, accepting mind, body, and true self.

See me!
