THE SMOKE REVEALS
The amber, burning charcoal, and fire,
Hidden underneath, an invisible inquiry,
Mysterious, the human heart displays,
Tight-lipped, silent mind, a hurt stays,
(1)
Conflict views, asymmetric thinking,
Averted eyes look down, life sinking,
Shed quarrel, objection, bitter fights,
Human nature prefers the selective right
(2)
Unchangeable vain effort to negotiate,
A dead wood less sprouts, instigate,
Dry leaves and wood catch fire at times,
White smoke curls up higher, defines (3)
Mirror the state of life, burnt wood,
Burning sadly with struggles, good,
The white smoke melts into thin air,
Outcry the soul for love in despair, (4)
Life scarcely burns, to foliage,
Leaves, flowers, and fruit messages,
A morning mist and fog surrounds,
No fire but moist air love rebound, (5)
The candle burns, and smoke pervades.
Spread light, and darkness quickly
fades,
Extinguished the light smoke, stays,
Life as a wick finished deeds mock, (6)
The fume remnants stay for a while,
The smoke reveals, scarcely defiled,
No harm only warns, love winner,
Charcoal turns to ash, leaf enamor (7)
The passion and lust captivate life,
Burn in the heart, turbulence, strife,
Incense sick for the Lord, fragrant,
The smoke reveals significant love.
