The Lotus Speak

By Jacqueline Sneed

I hear the trees rustle in homage to the lotus

Green leaves and bright flowers compete for the sun

The sun touches the lotus but we can only look

I hear the trees rustle in homage to the lotus

The lotus speak to my heart…

They are gracious and silent

I hear the trees rustle in homage to the lotus

Green leaves and bright flowers compete for the sun
