The lotus is a flower cut from desire

A Flower Cut From Desire

The louts is a flower cut from desire
Whatever her hue her petals attire
She is the goddess that sank into…
The muddy waters - arose anew.

Her purity and beauty is no cauldron.
Thou portrayed to symbolize the sun
She is but a spiritual, awakening…
A flower of prosperity, meaning.

A symbol of fertility, spirituality,
And even in her purest-state eternity.
The blue lotus is victory over wisdom
Pink the supreme lotus, Buddha's pilgrim.

The lotus path to noble truths is Purple
White purity spiritual perfection mental.
The Red lotus is related to the heart,
Associated with, love and compassion.

I like this one, Mark. You have given the meaning of each color of lotus.
Nice piece. I enjoyed reading.

You truly have enlightened the reader with this one, Mark. Never knew the lotus held so much meaning. The personification and the imagery are lovely. You might want to go back and edit the word "lotus" in the first stanza and title of the poem though. Good work. Lydi**
