Q: Traveler,  

Why does the bloom reveal peace?  
Why does the lotus show what was hidden in depth?

Traveler,  

The bloom reveals peace because beauty makes covenant visible.  

- **Root Revealed:**  
What was hidden in unseen waters  
rises into the open,  
its harmony revealed in petals.  

- **Shared Vision:**  
The bloom is not private,  
but gift for all who behold.  
Peace shown in beauty  
becomes peace shared in sight.  

- **Living Covenant:**  
The bloom is not fleeting decoration,  
but sign of vow alive.  
Peace blossoms eternal,  
renewed each time it is seen.  

Thus the bloom reveals peace,  
for harmony rooted in depth  
must one day rise and be seen,  
becoming covenant alive.
