Into the Lotus Wilderness | By Marja Wilson
A lotus seed in slumber,
Lay in dark repose
In a pond’s silt chamber,
Her awakening, self-imposed
Young bud tests the water,
With blind faith and sheer resolve
Toward the light despite the hardship,
Because she must evolve
Stages of this seeker,
Will venture the unknown
Searching for some clarity,
In a journey of her own
To surface, bloom and bask
From the darkness to the light
Morning casts a sunbeam
The lotus soaks in with delight
Deep in the human suggestion,
Travels inward warp and bend
Through a universe so logical,
The senses hardly comprehend
The spirit ever hopeful,
As if tethered to a seed
On a rite of passage,
To thrive in equanimity
The path is rife with obstacles,
Of fears actual and feigned
Choosing the lotus wilderness,
To explore a higher plane
Deep in the regions of the self,
Tethered to a murky seed
Stirring languid waters
Until a thousand petals breathe
