LOTUS

  

Suddenly she was there: Lotus

She was born right in the sea

in a flower as she showed us

she felt pretty good and free

 

She heard a lovely music sound

while she was lying in the sun

A man was sitting on the ground

he played a golden harp for fun

 

Johan Onvlee was his name

he had left the ferry boat

a bit too early, bloody shame,

sand and water on his road

 

The boat delayed and Lotus stayed

Her wings were growing he could see

She was an ELF and Johan played

the Dorian Lotus Symphony

 

It started raining cats and dogs

A raindrop lead them to a place

of fairies, gnomes and birds and frogs

This was their first flight through the space

 

The night they spent there near a lake

They spoke about their dreams and lutes

Thus Hubblebubble had an heartache

and Lotus wants to find her roots

 

Next day they really found a lot

A honeybee foretold good life

and thanks tot Joost a boat they got

the three of them were done to strive

 

The boat could only go on music

so Johan played the golden harp

He sometimes told a limerick

and Lotus made her nails nice sharp

 

A whirlwind took the citer sound

and spread it over fields and sea,

mountains, valleys, rivers, ground

to feel the Dorian harmony

 

Hubblebubble was tom-tom

and suddenly he said excited:

“I see ruins and a palm”

The three of them were much delighted

 

The boat calmed down and made a stop

when Johan finished citer play

The ruin had a sign on top

the “Jewel in the Lotus”-way

 

There was a mystic atmosphere,

no entrance, so they walked around

“Hello hello, it’s Lotus here”

And then they fell right through the ground


They saw the greens, they smelled the flowers

and Lotus’ mother hugged, she cried

They had some very happy hours

her handsome father stood aside

 

They got a bath and Lotus cake

Her sisters showed the baby room

her flower went to Lotus Lake,

ready for a baby boom

 

Next period was really great

All elfs there learned an instrument

and Lotus self the citer played

She got a Dorian compliment

 

Hubblebubble found his love

Johan got a gift to keep

It was time to go above

he got a kiss and fell asleep

 

Next day he was at sea again

waiting for the ferry boat

He played the citer as a man

The water ebbed, the water flowed

 

A whirlwind took the citer sound

and spread it over fields and sea,

mountains, valleys, rivers, ground

to feel the Dorian harmony
