If I was a lotus
justam

If I was a lotus with roots attached to the floor of my lake
maybe I could bob on the water for a lifetime
with strong waxy leaves to shield me
and I could be invulnerable to the creatures that ceaselessly swim by
even the schools of nibbling fish
and the cross-currents from the jet-skis, canoes and motor-boats
I could be patient
at peace and lovely
unworried and happy
Should I try to be a lotus?

(not a big fan of the word incessantly)
What word do you think would be better than incessantly? Is there a more watery word that would fit? Ceaselessly?
yes! I would like ceaselessly ten times more....
The imagery you create and the feelings you capture for the description of a lotus..absolutely gorgeous.
Very nice Justam.
"Forgive every being,
the bad feelings
it's just me"
*takes a few deep breaths*
That's better.
No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,
After you die...you know how to LIVE!
