Poem of the Wind Across the Lotus Pond — From Bud to Petal Fall

A lotus field in early summer. The buds stretching their backs from the water's surface seem still hard, as if in a deep sleep. Did a newborn butterfly dragonfly land there? Resting its wings that reflect the sunlight, it waits quietly for the season to truly begin—a fleeting moment of rest.

The season shifts from early summer to the powerful height of summer. The large blossoms that colorfully adorned the lotus field finish their role and flutter down, one petal after another. Using the fresh, concentric lotus leaves as plates, the sight of two petals drifting is like small boats floating on the water.
