A lotus dreams of pollination
far from the fast streams...
My lotus pose for meditation
provokes insects and bees
to come, alight and look
for nectar, pollen, seeds
and so disturb my concentration,
ignore my higher needs
and bring a Buddha-smile to my face
by tickling tenderly my heels...
One, it seems to have been written the bliss of trance: We scatter the pollens all around, New lotus bloom all over the pond. We, with your Buddha smile beam, And sip the nector of their dream.
My poem has nothing to do with lotus-eaters. I do not mind to learn more about them, so please teach me :)
This is lovely, Onelia! We have a phrase about contrasting attitudes or viewpoints in English: 'from the sublime to the ridiculous' - your poetry so often exploits the possibilities of sublime meditation and teasing, absurd observations, both in the same poem, making me smile and think! You set the lotus position (so transcendental) against the physical sensation of giggly tickishness to wonderful effect - no pomposity in your poems - always easy, graceful and human!
I keep rereading this and have finally come to the conclusion I want whatever you are having to provoke.. all of everything contained within this poem... me tinkest you have made this in10tionally wealthy...
Your works are classic! ! I simply love them.
Lotus is highly concentrated, it is the symbol of tripple balance and the godess of all art sits in the white lotus, nice poem, and of course the Bow Tree is also helps meditation, nice 10++
