Lotus Flowers at the Hōkongō-in Temple in Kyoto-City, Japan.

            In Japan's tranquil pond, a sight so serene,
A white lotus blooms, a vision to be seen.
Its petals, pristine, like snow softly graced,
In the waters, it floats with elegance embraced.

A symbol of purity, its essence divine,
In the land of the rising sun, it does shine.
Its delicate fragrance, a whisper on the breeze,
As the moonlight dances among the trees.

Amidst the cherry blossoms, it stands tall,
A symbol of beauty, revered by all.
In stillness, it reflects the morning light,
A beacon of peace in the hush of the night.

In the ancient gardens of Kyoto's embrace,
The white lotus flourishes, a symbol of grace.
Its ethereal charm, a delicate art,
In Japan's heart, forever apart.
