The Frog and The Lotus Flower

How beautiful you are, amidst all this swamp, despite all this ugliness surrounding you. You smell so good among the cloud of stench rising from the water. You shine so beautifully among all this greenery. You are this swampy paradise that I am constantly familiar with. I am a strange frog, I know nothing but singing and shouting. I am someone who gets wet while jumping from leaf to leaf. I will follow you, maybe you will pull me out of this swamp.
