Sound of Lotus

The first rays of sunlight touch the water, my petals spread, welcoming the light
Awaking from a long dream, observing the world around me
People come to the lake's edge, gazing with various expressions
Awe, fatigue, or emptiness
The energy and vibrations of the heart, invisible to the eye
Seeing me as a beautiful flower in a fleeting glance before moving on
Some stay, sitting for hours, searching for something
I remember one young woman
Her face was gloomy, her eyes holding a storm
She came every evening, sitting motionless by the shore
My petals felt slightly stiff
Slowly, I noticed a change
She no longer just stared at me
Observing the ripples of water embracing my stem
Small dragonflies flew and danced
Smiling slightly as she watched the fish jump
Slowly, peace grew within her
Each breath cleared the mist from her heart
I knew she was rediscovering something lost
He finally rises, with a genuine smile and shining eyes
I too bloom more beautifully than before
Radiating an aura of calm
I am here, allowing myself to open fully to the world
I endure the heavy rain, the strong winds that try to uproot me
Every challenge makes me stronger
My roots grow deeper into the mud
True beauty isn’t in my striking pink color
True beauty is in the calmness I bring
The ability to keep growing and blooming amidst all obstacles
I am a reflection of hope that never fades
Holding the secret to peace that anyone can find
