Analysis of The Soothing Fire
Fire don't expose
your destructive natures.
They bring plagues
to all creatures.
When you are cause
of damage in the forest,
you destroy miles after miles
and only ashes lay on earth brest.
When the cities are on fire,
you damage the properties
and take away lives.
Everybody can find your vicious enmities.
I entreat you
to give up your evil image
and only expose your
calm, soothing visage.
Your nature is attributed by God.
If you have inauspicious image,
I find contrary of it
When you bring forth auspicious blaze.
On wedding day
bride and groom claim
a happy prosperous life,
in front of your auspicious flame.
When mother put milk container,
to stop her baby's crying,
On the fire
I find you more soothing.
When village woman,
In her sacred place,
lit up her earthen wick candles,
I find your auspicious visage.
