Rebirth, healing, awakening- These are the words that mirror a flower that blooms in mud.
In order for its petals to greet the warmth of the sun, a lotus flower must begin its life buried beneath mud and filth. Fragile and little it uses its own strength to press on through the sludge so that it can live within the water. With time and patience, it’ll soon reach the surface feeling the sun shine on it. As its buds begin to grow, the flower will then finally burst into full bloom. Same goes here. At this moment, I’ve been living my life facing trials, hardships and frustrations, but not until the day I realized that someone up there is pursuing me. Now I consider these obstacles as my source of wisdom that I can use to move forward and recover. I’m finally having hope that I can still grasp the light that shines brightly on top of me. And someday I can also rise above to show my worth, that I don’t deserve to be belittled and that there’s a jewel inside of me just waiting to sparkle. I’m a lotus that is striving to grow through hard times, pursuing to rise above trials, determined to ascend out of the darkness and feel the sun, a lotus which petals are slowly in to blossom and waiting for the world to marvel at my untouched beauty. I know it’s not easy to grow and change, I have tried it a million times and I almost gave up but now I know that quitting wouldn’t help me build up my being again. It may be a long and prudent process, but I will not waver and get tired for right now I yearn to be pulled out from mud and filth. I want to break away from this dark and cold abyss, flee, be healed, be marveled and have the sweetest escape of my life

    One day I was outside taking care of my marigolds. I was crouching down and pulling the seeds from them to replant next year. Then a young girl named Lizabeth started screaming and taking her anger out on my marigolds. She leaped into the mounds of marigolds and pulled them apart. She was trampling, pulling, and destroying the perfect yellow blooms. The fresh smell of the marigolds started to fade. Lizabeth was screaming and sobbing while tearing apart my marigolds. This younger boy was tugging at her dress and yelling for her to stop, he said,” Lizabeth, stop, please stop!” I was sitting by my ruined little garden looking among the uprooted and ruined flowers. Lizabeth was crying and crying, and it was too late for her to undo what she had…

    The scent of flowers carried strong over the valley. The overwhelming perfume of hundreds, if not thousands of untouched petals, was long lost to noses that grew up with roses in their nostrils, not able to pick out the aroma of a single stem. Not helping was the deepness of the valley, with the only way out a steep climb with materials they not only didn’t have, but had no hope of ever making.…

    I sat in my room for a long while weeping before I heard a familiar noise outside. I rushed to the door peering out just before I saw that same angry girl jumping into my flower bed destroying my flowers. I felt that all the happiness I had ever had was being sucked out of me with every stomp that girl was taking on my marigolds. By the time I got to my flowers they were all gone. I couldn't even find it in me to yell at her stood there in astonishment and a wave of sadness washed over me. It was almost as if my whole life was taken away from me from this careless little girl who was only thinking of herself. I wanted to scream I but I just couldnt. I felt tears forming in my eyes, I forgot the girl was there before I heard her scarce and quivered voice, “M-miss Lottie!” she had said before she hurried to her feet. Her eyes were swollen as she looked up into my sad and weary eyes. I stood there for a moment before I turned away and went inside to my room. I thought to myself, this is a dream I will wake up in a little bit and my flowers will be there when I wake up, but in the back of my mind I knew they were…

    The speaker begins by introducing the water lily as a stage for the activity that goes on around it. He describes “a green level of lily leaves” that “reefs the petal’s chamber and paves the flies’ furious arena,”--a cover for the activity below and the ground for the action above. The picture establishes the speaker’s view of nature as a complex body with layers that reach beyond its seemingly inactive surface. The language used by the speaker to describe the lily leaves, marked by alliteration and subtle imagery, also demonstrates the speaker’s appreciation of the beauty of nature’s “outer surface,” the face it shows most plainly to the casual observer. The speaker also personifies nature by describing it as a “lady” with “two minds,” clearly those that exist above and below its surface. Study these, the speaker notes to himself, and only then can one develop an accurate understanding of the heart of nature.…

    Throughout the entire poem, the speaker continuously asks questions debating what makes life worth living. The speaker’s confused mental state is expressed through rhetorical questions. The narrator asks, “Oh cold reprieve, where’s natural relief?” Here, the narrator wonders where he may find an escape from life, from the grief he was told to pursue. The answer is actually from within him. This results in a poem with dialogue between the narrator’s conscience and heart; the heart being the Echo. The Echo’s answer of “Leaf” leads the narrator to reflect on the death of leaves; leaves bloom beautifully and change into various colors. Making “ecstasy” of the flower’s dying process. He wonders, “Yet what’s the end of our life’s long disease? If death is not, who is my enemy,” but then the Echo calls itself the foe. Though leaves age beautifully, people do not, for aging is a disease of life that cannot be escaped.…
