The faded text reads:
"Buried deep in the muck
and darkness, the lotus
sprout bursts free of the
seed and presses
ever upwards,
through mud and murk
to break the surface and
open its newborn face to
the gentle light of morning,
closing tight and hiding
away from the searing scorch
of the day, peeking from
behind pale pink petals
again as the cool of evening
descends and the world
moves once more towards
the natal darkness from
which the lotus sprung."
