I close my eyes and see the circles;

I let my mind unravel –

its petals to bloom into a lotus.

The intricacies

in those full-fledged petals

Fall beyond my understanding.

I keep wondering,

about their designs,

about their journey,

about their meanings,

And wandering within;

I see their beauty –

holding, preserving, unfurling,

in their own mysterious ways.
