a spark came falling
from the sea of stars
into the pond of quiet
warm waters glimmering
translucent in the light of eve
from lavender depths
growing a lotus star
in sparkling willow light
engulfed by wavelets soft and tender
at night a moon arose
from the cradle of the floating bloom
carrying the incense
of eternal embers.

in August, i traveled to a field of lotuses near my city at night. it was bright and starry, and the field was almost sparkling. this reminded of that journey, and also of my love. thank you for this poetic beauty.
I imagine you experienced a magical moment at this lotus field. Thank you as well ~ have a wonderful September, dear Yelena.
