Poem: Journey of the Lotus

December 26, 2002 |  

Wandering spirits
Direction lacking
The Truth descends
Eyes open

Challenges arise
Tests, trials,
Some stumble, but strive forward
The walls become stairs
The haze clears
Eyes see the world anew

The journey is not simple,
Precious, not marked with ease
Questions and doubts surface
Just how society has trained,
Perseverance eliminates the artificial
Diligence obtains
Enlightenment ahead in the path.
Yet a great test surrounds:
Black clouds travel nearby
Some deluded are stirred
But the Righteous are unshaken
The Pure and Compassionate have nothing to fear

The Lotus forms together
Blooming, it illuminates the world
Dense fog turns to tears
All amazed by the glory
A Lotus flower, beautiful and welcoming
Enduring, even when the world turns its back
Its light makes a new reality
Shameful lives agonize in regret,
But the petals are still open
The flower still in bloom
With interference eliminated
The Lotus illuminates a world never seen before
