LOTUS (SONNET)

Asian elegance sprouts through heavy mud.
Smiling lotus blooms it�s brilliant color.
Enchanting flamingo pink flowers bud.
No wee blossom could be more lovelier.
The deeper the mud, the more dazzling.
A pretty picturesque carnation gem.
With a little love and care, joy she�ll bring
From her roots up through her evergreen stem.
Nam myoho renge kyo is her chant.
Buddhist�s call on her for strength and comfort.
A world of love consumes this little plant.
She�ll dry your tears and take away your hurt.
From ugliness grows creations beauty.
She�ll grow the test of time forever free.
