"WHITE LOTUS FLOWER"

"White Lotus! Flower of magic and mystery,

which unfold through the physical elements of the whole matter,

wonderful symbolism of the human soul!

As the human soul, you will get to land, painfully,

in a hidden and hard struggle of all times,

in the ceaseless work of your roots,

the maintenance of the plant gross and deformed,

which creates cracks in the water,

winning the open air, opened in large sheets

to the splendour of the sun and, finally,

flowering in the free space, radiant, beautiful and immaculate!

And when your corolla focuses on the mirrored surface of the lakes,

the petals of snow which rock in the breeze its spotless whiteness,

forever lost the memory of mud, where your roots goes to redouble and sink,

looking forward to reaping for you the pure essence of life that inspires you”.

Félix Bermudes
