One storm raging
across tainted horizons
where China's darkest
skies collide.

Despite tumultuous waters
and poisoned minds
many a heart awakening
casting clouds aside.

With petals unfolding
a new light emerging
dispelling shadows
and realms forlorn.

From the turning of tides
where truth prevails
resplendent to eternity
behold the lotus in the storm.
