I bought a match box
to burn the thought of
revenge in my heart;
I bought a coolant
to douse fire of
hatred inside me;
I bought ice to
cool heat of
envy inside me;
My desires i throttled,
when lust
sired my desires;
I bought thoughts
to stop cravings
of greed inside me;
I bought balm to
soothe frayed nerves;
I bought sugar to
sweeten soured relations;
I bought salt
to enhance flavours
of togetherness;
I bought spices to
add zest to life;
I bought fragrance to
spread scent of godliness;
I spread my arms
far n wide;
I bought n bought
with a thought,
that material things can
change my heart;
Distraught dejected
failed I thought,
to pray i bowed to Lord,
compassion engulfed me
showering love for all;
As love spread
tranquility prevailed
peace filled my heart
throwing out all the ills,
my arms folded,
Embracing love of Lord.
