Deep dark murky water....
Vastness of nothingness
looming around….
A feeling of caught in an
eerie maze....
Like a tight bud, holding
onto faith....
Building on strength that
can be gathered....
Counting on each breath to
be strong....
Can see something lurking
towards me....
The touch of creeper makes
me wary….
Sensing it will bind me
down soon….
A voice says: Now is the
time!
With mighty power, I fight
myself out....
Hanging on to the last
breath....
I reach to the surface....
Inhaling earthly air, I
open my eyes
Looking at the sky, widen
my hands in gratitude....
Yes! I reached out from
dark to bloom, said the ‘Lotus’
