FIRE AND FLOWER

 

FIRE AND FLOWER

Ancient humans worshipped the sun,
Auspicious moments inspired dawn,
Fire from stones, a convex lens appears,
Gunpowder missiles, cities disappear, (1)

A newborn child is warmed with fire
Auspicious sacred ceremony fire care,
An oath over fire, seven rounds hail,
Promise to be faithful in marriage, well, (2)

Green hills, forests, skyline, mountain,
White foam creates a rainbow fountain,
Waterfalls, the noise, the thrilling sight,
Wildfire on the top devastates fright, (3)

Cremation fire eliminates existence,
From birth to wedding, death sense,
The light dispels darkness, mind afire,
Anger, jealousy, and discrimination (4)

There is the heath, wild grass, flowers,
Another world, fragrant love shower,
Exchanges roses, jasmine messages,
Expression of the heart life proposes (5)

The sweet existence for moments,
Flowery bed dries emotion laments,
The wind, water, soil, and greenery here,
The river lotus pond intensely allures, (6)

Opposite side of nature, flowery felt,
Burning, towering inferno lives melt,
The executive, beautiful nature stays,
Deliberately deliver life, natural way, (7)

Ornate oil lamp, the temple prayers,
Idols adorned significantly, flowers,
Matter of fact, extinguish a fire soon,
Fire and water for food boiled boon! (viii)
