Lotus

She will be waking

Waiting to raise from the mud

In her own brightness

She's solitarily proud

My lotus will rise

Show through the dark

Sealed to the ground

My hands not gentle enough to hold her soul

Shimmering lonely star

Quietly thinking

Why hurry this life away

Open-minded intentions

Peaceful with all that surrounds

My lotus will rise

Show through the dark

Sealed to the ground

My hands not gentle enough to hold her soul

Shimmering lonely star

Some day she'll wither

Like the first love in young arms

Calmed by the winter

Frozen inanimate life

My lotus will shine

Glow through the dark

Sealed to the ground

Your blooms tender but strong to hold my soul

Shimmering lonely star

Your lotus will shine

Grow through the dark

Sealed to the ground

Your blooms tender but strong

Enlighten my soul

Shimmering lonely star

Lotus don't linger

Open the cage of my heart
