Lesson In A Flower Haiku Poem by Lorraine Margueritte Gasrel Black

White lotus opens

pure spirit born in the mud

arise crowned by stars


Awakening greets

shadows upon the green leaves

a fanning network


Flower captures dawn

surprise in the lily pond

still open all night


Nature's spirit lives

connecting all existence

celestial song


Dragonflies and frogs

rest upon the wide green leaves

koi adore blossoms


Pearly petals crown

then reign in quiet beauty

among lily pads


Rainbow snake arise

ignite the mystical bloom

Cosmos sharing light


Silent white lotus

spirit questing innerlight

listen to my soul


A stone filled with light

anchors the mundane overcome

by the white lotus


Centered in petals

the infinite soul's sacred

journey radiates


Lessons from a bloom

white lotus meditations

universal calm


Nature's heart beats and

flows in constant balance as

life begins or ends


Knowledge is power

to understand perceptive

accepting is wise


White lotus spirit

arise and greet awakened

inner horizons


To touch the Divine

lotus unfolding within

infinity's gift


Passive violet flame

sparks breathless cosmic seed

births breathing nectar


Bountiful spirit

how a beautiful flower

elevates my thoughts
