To Chant The Lotus Poem by Charles WOO

Shaken by wind, the red lotus is hugged by its leaves.
It casts a flaming shadow which the limpid pond receives.
The fragrance tells the visitors that its bud will bloom.
Dew drops try to peep the seeds in its tender womb.
Fishes play around its stalk and root under water.
Dragon-fly rests on its petal while poet is the watcher.
I fear this poem would stain its beautiful quality.
Its growth from mud makes me think about the truth deeply.
