The lotus so soaked, it sways and sways in water, floating like a boat. Feeling the water rise up to the ship’s surface I know it will sink. The only witnesses, A mossy log at the shore, The remains are gone. For nature to thrive the fire must engulf all, leaving nothing there.

The Death of the Lotus
The lotus so soaked, it sways and sways in water, floating like a boat. Feeling the water rise up to the ship’s surface I know it will sink. The only witnesses, A mossy log at the shore, The remains are gone. For nature to thrive the fire must engulf all, leaving nothing there.
This is a Haiku I wrote just a few days ago. It represents the decay of nature, which will eventually become the food for new living things. It’s an endless, often overlooked cycle of life and death.
