Quickens and toddles <br />A seedling <br />Stained in mud of materialism <br />Arises and rises, <br />Courses through <br />The ranches of ugliness, <br />Resists the galloping moments <br />And evolves into <br />A floaty bud of compassion and love, <br />Pure at heart. <br /> <br /> <br />Through waters of experience <br />Blooms a stainless soul <br />Into the sunshine of enlightenment, <br />Refined in thoughts. <br />With ripening knowledge <br />Maneuvers a cause <br />Into an effect, <br />Regenerates white, pink, <br />Red and blue lives. <br />Restitutes the scent of land. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />(25-04-2010) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Sameer Ahmed<br /><br />Sameer Ahmed<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lotus-of-life/
