The Lotus

Lotus I am
waiting to bloom
when it will
petals open to the
limitless skies
reflecting glories
eternal and infinite
and yet fading out
and giving in to
the watery end.
Pond I am
with memories muddying
the bottoms
and settling down to clear
waters on top
letting things run 
deep.
And I watch lotuses bloom 
and fade
and days turn 
into nights 
and spring into
autumn
and time
going round and round
to remain still.
I am still the time.
