White Lotus

I was tiny, I was fragile 
The spring flowers that bloomed
Overlooked, I was not like them 
Fresh and aromatic was not me 
Beneath the surface, I wait

Strong heat waves of passion 
To not be seen as a bottom dweller
Alas! I was no longer in the dark
Above the mud, I rose in perfect scent

My pristine petals that took attention 
No longer under the earth
This was me, it was my season 
The pure white lotus
