When roaring sorrow 
Uprooted me
I envision a lotus flower, staying gently a float upon the pond.
The sun's soothing, comforting light warmed my heart. 
Breathing in.... Breathing, gently out.
Releasing both hands
Clasped in pain. 
No need to leave 
No need to go
The deep sorrow of my heart beating
Rivers of Love's tears upon the pond. 
Yet the sunshine never failed. 
I am floating gently - to that perfect spot 
Within the pond.
I, Lotus flower 
Send my tap root deep down below
Taking root, among the other lotus
Beautiful flowers anchored to the pond's murky floor.
