Lotus
By Gabriella F
My bright petals whisper
Around me lotuses bloom
And how amazing I look
Beneath the luminous moon.
The sparkling water tells me stories
The leaves share secrets
The trees comfort me to sleep
As I lay back
On my lotus stem.
Oh, how people wish on me
Like a shooting star
And as my lotus petals wither
I look out from afar.
I often wonder
What’s beyond these waters?
The pitter-patter of rain,
The morning dew sings me songs,
A gentle breeze tickles me
As I lay back
On my lotus stem.
