Petals......

[PixieDust]

From a tiny bud did she grow

A beautiful flower who was the show

 

Her layers ran very deep

Each one a gift to keep

 

They bloomed in beauty and grace

This was her special space

 

Shining out and on display

Her garden was her place to play

 

The wind blew through, she silently swayed

Her shell fluttered and she prayed

 

Her lifespan was preordained

Petals was her name

 

She weathered many storms

From the moment she was born

 

It was such a delicate dance

She was wary of the slightest pounce

 

Her first petal floated away

A sweet surrender underway  

 

One by one each precious layer dropped

Until she was motley and left to rot

 

Her head bowed to the ground

The tears prepared her for homeward bound

 

On the sodden earth did she lay

To grow again another day......

Oh wow, dark and deep

Beautiful full of life and happiness till it's fateful day. Then comes a day when it's reborn again xxx

The path to enlightenment. Only by shedding old ways and old beliefs do we make it possible to achieve the Lotus of enlightenment. A new bud, a new song a new life.
