Lotus Poem by Raj Kumar

Murky silt gathers abreast;
Grime nature defiles waters;
Swamp spread coarse gardens;
Serene Muscle stems afloat ridges;
Leaves sheathe dire face beneath;
Diamond droplets shine above.

Roots under dirtiest water;
Imperfect beneath groom's worthy loam;
Bud rise pure amongst morass;
Spurts bliss amid dismay;
Observe of sun blossom;
Beauty glow upon crimson;
Amidst truth welcome bloomed.

Foreface illuminates fresh breathe;
Heavenly aroma thy wear fills air;
Meditate to sense immortals;
For virtues wisdom incarnates.

Splendor and deed ascend one;
In chorus raises flower and fruit;
Pride petals wither show thy goodness;
Enlighten one to righteous.

Though bloom on soiled waters;
Pharaohs' and Sages sang thy praise;
Salute upright to cause for causes;
Simplicity shines culture of cultures;
Marvel similitude to harmonies humans.

Learned Lotus taught thee; Secret lays life's glee.

Whilst root rigid to dilemma waters;
State brings to righteous.

Whilst adore stems hard not fracture;
Affectionate care leaves to admire.

Whilst bloom raise to purity on grimy;
Head above face to vibrant rays'.

Whilst incarnates action to purify deeds;
Shine to light above goodness beneath.

Whilst ardor to considerate wave;
Wisdom seeds sowed back mature to bloom.

Whilst times dismay reflect to restore;
Observe grace thy fragrance to shine.


Whilst material bliss to one states;
Thought oneself bring woe to rests.

Whilst learn past to experience future;
Poise body soul synch to rise.
