WHAT IS A LOTUS 

That love unrequited is a misnomer.

And nothing in life is free is scientifically correct,

That kindness is the lifestyle not everyone adheres to and love is patient, kind, and in no way judgemental is rock hard fact.  That and so many gifts taken for granted: Bird song, Or light - cold as a shift shaping moon, Stars - alone like socially distanced beings in a pandemic. And sky the colour of blue we think.

"Ah - If I knew then what I know now" -  should i  be saying that today? knowing that i may edit, but i'm not the author of life?

Ah humility, ah gratefulness, ah a heart of trust and thanksgiving: these i need like air to breathe, that i may hope in tomorrow.


I will bloom to light

From muddy anchors rooted

every good i am
