The Lotus Truth

Truth 

I am the mud

Here you long to root 

And fear the cage

Whilst all things pass 

From youth to age 

You call for MUT 

The mother to forgive 

The many lies uttered 

As you long to LIVE 

For it takes a fire 

To burn within 

Building the cou-rage 

To start again 

Oh but I am also the bud 

The promise of spring 

Within my mouth 

You taste everything 

Life has a sap 

A meaning and a voice 

From the lows to the heights 

One is given a Choice 

I rise from the glory 

And the deep shame 

Of all that is hidden 

Behind your name 

Pretend not your worth 

In glamorous things 

The mud consumes all 

And decays the wings 

Until nothing is left 

But the fertile soul 

Rising to the sun 

A lotus born whole 

I am the lotus 

And the fragrant perfume 

Of a soul that has known 

The darkness of womb

I rise with no effort 

Simply with grace 

It takes no cleverness

but a simple embrace 

A willingness to know

only the truth

To live as a divine child

In eternal youth
