Little Lotus Blossom

Lady Sunshine on Oct 25, 2011

The lotus blossom is a symbol of purity.

"I love the lotus because while growing from mud, it is unstained." ~ Confucian scholar Zhou Dunyi.

Little lotus blossom

Growing from the pond

Your pristine petals lilt

Untouched by the mud

Floating above the mire

Purity of innocence

Little lotus blossom

Your divine elegance

Surpasses the murkiness

An unblemished wholesomeness

The embodiment of excellence

Unstained by circumstance

Little lotus blossom

Rise above the darkness

Reach for enlightenment

Protecting your chastity

Untainted by malice

Embracing your virginity

Little lotus blossom

Your virtue refined

A dignified grace

Twirling in harmony

With poise and gallantry

Adroit in symmetry

Little lotus blossom

Comely in movement

Perfection in form

An unsullied graciousness

Of a bloom transcendent

Flawless forevermore

A great piece. I admit I will have to fully read it later as I am not at home right now…
