Water nymph, gliding upon a lotus
hovers back and forth, as though
pulling aside a memory.

The trouble is that, we believe we
 have time but in reality time’s like 
 the course of a setting sun.

Water nymph, lend me wisdom
of change and light, lest tradition
crops my wings and sets me aside.

We touch destiny without going
too deep, feeding on hope and
 slipping by obsidian sky.

Water nymph fiery, stout and great
let me bloom as a lotus, come
give me dreams that fly.

 

Process notes: The dragonfly is associated with symbolic meaning of change.
The pink lotus flower is a representative of what a person is going through,
shedding light on ones heart; as lotus blooms it comes to represent a person
opening up to all that is around them.
