Love and trust, the awakened lotus*
Worldly pleasures of desires so deep
Attached to those things that the heart does not keep
A darkened world that is stuck like the mud in the pond
Illusions to tempt to excite not to make calm
But something is not with that world within
It has been awakened always to be born again
It sleeps away from that darkness it does not see
It is not of any shadow for it is truly free
When the sun comes up in the daylight
It knows when a path is made, leaving the night
Protected by love, petals look like hands folded to a prayer
Through cool murky waters, awakened to be here from there
Now it has surfaced and it shows its beauty to the world
Petals open up, received the love as it unfurls
It sees itself always as it is in a consciousness that trusts
Coming here over and over, enlightened where it is,
For it is the beauty of the awakened lotus
