By Rithy S. Vu
A bed with petals of endless love
The touch in the sense of light
Calm crystals waters pure and clear
But one Lotus glowing in the night
Caressed by the dark skies
Everlasting showers of tears begin
Hidden in the moon’s shadows
A fiery flame ignites within
Winds of rage rip the lands
Floods of terror engulfs the plains
Red thunder scorches the heavens
But one Lotus only remains
Treasures in the deep blue sea
Serenity through the calm tide
The blazing sun dries the land
Noises of anger had died
A future as a peaceful time
Conquering all the hardships endeavors
A beautiful large and lovely garden
But one Lotus in my heart forever
