Lotus - flower and symbol, Echo of a strange religion, Of a mysterious world, Distant and miraculous, Of a divine, celestial music, Monotonous and hypnotic. There grow plants and flowers, With fine and strange odor, There fly the unseen birds, There mellow the appetizing fruits… Lotus, lotus, lotus - A name that moves and exaltes. The heart in my bosom is shiving When I murmur him in secret, Wake out of a luminous dream, That essence escape to me. Alone this word enunciates My lips, dry for passion and thirst When it ‘s tumbles for surprise and fear, That a transparent tear, from my eyelid – Lotus of my dream, water’s flower… Adela Vasiloi
