💧Poem of the White Water Lily:
“A White Prayer Floating on the Water's Surface”


by Aqua

On the morning water’s surface,
a white prayer floats gently.
Without a ripple,
without a speck of murk,
it simply and quietly basks in the light.

Even on days when my heart is in turmoil,
just like this flower,
if I take a moment to breathe,
the water gently reminds me
that a clear world will return.

The white water lily
is a flower that possesses “strength within stillness.”
