On the icy waters, <br />A symbol of elegance, <br />As it floats with grace. <br /> <br />Spreading its petals, <br />Iron hard yet so gentle, <br />Like a shining star. <br /> <br />As the Queen settles, <br />Under the moonlight shadow, <br />The hymn starts to sing. <br /> <br />This still of the night, <br />The lotus rests on her throne, <br />Such timeless beauty.<br /><br />the poet<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/haiku-ii-the-queen-of-the-lake/
