O My Colored Soul! ! Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

O My Colored Soul! !

Rating: 5.0


washing the clean linen in dirty water,
makes the clothes to be dirty and colored,
white clothe will invite the colors of contrast,
color of the water that it is dipped into.

white and black are two extreme colors,
with unique properties and characters,
the white reflects everything; good and bad,
the black absorbs everything; beauty to be void.

Thousands of colors in between,
spread on the wise and vicious spectrum,
blended colors of short living rain bow,
nurtures the hearts with love to glow,

Washing the clean linen of any color,
in the water of immoral dirt and sediment,
Where shall we find the clean water,
to wash our dirty souls of multiple colors?

When we think of the ills, and manipulate with evils,
the souls that are born white, will be colored,
when we wash the evil thoughts in evil solutions,
our soiled souls will be more colored and in illusion.
