✱  Beneath—a pale, blue sky: a small garden rested beside a still pond, surrounded by soft green leaves &. countless lotus flowers.

Their petals carried shades of  blush pink,
ivory, and the faintest touch of lavender,
opening slowly as the first light of
dawn touched the water.

ㅤ ㅤ 🪷 (She often, came) there when the
ㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤworld—became too loud ..

She would sit beside the pond and watch the lotus flowers floating peacefully above the water. Some were fully opened, reaching toward the morning sun, while others remained closed, patiently waiting for their own time to bloom.

♡, The lotus did not grow from perfect places. Its roots rested deep beneath the muddy water, hidden where no one could see them. Yet, despite where it came from, the flower continued to rise.

She knew, what it—felt like to: grow in places that were not always beautiful. She knew what it meant to—carry things silently, to smile even when her heart was tired, &. to keep moving even when she did not know exactly where she was going +?
