The tale of the lotus flower...

In my dream, I was walking with my beloved along the grassy banks of the river.
The dream changed. He was waving goodbye, his boat gliding away. I ran but I couldn't catch up. I fell into the murky waters, weeping so much, I became a lotus flower.
My beloved returned, a raven haired beauty by his side. Demanding, she pointed to me. Unknowingly, he scooped me from the waters. As he held me, he felt a great sadness. Angry, his lover threw me overboard.
My beloved cried in anguish and jumped.
The boat vanished. Only two white lotuses remained...
