Lotus

When the wakening dawn gribs you tight

One foot down, let the other follow.



When the mirage of nations knot your mind

Loosen each bundle, one then another.



When the drumming beat knocks on your heart

Breathe slowly, transcend to your peaceful rythm.



Rest.



Each moment that moves, another lotus is emerging beneath your step.
