Spices Of Life

Life is not a race,

So why take it in a hurried pace?

Give it time, give it space,

Life is a journey of different phases.

One day is bitter, the next day is sweet,

One day we bloom, the next day we wilt,

Life is too short so enjoy it bit by bit.

Life is a series of emotions,

These include 7 basic portions,

Anger,fear,disgust,happiness,sadness,contempt & surprise,

But the emotion of happiness is a blessing in disguise.

Sometimes the tears are of sadness &,

Sometimes the tears are of joy,

You sitting comfortably on a charpoy,

The very next moment everything can destroy.

Spices are necessary for the art of cooking,

Just like situations & emotions are for living.

7 spices include salt, masalas & some powders,

These all have the magical power,

To turn any food,

Taste good.

Even if 1 spice is missing,

The food loses its meaning,

We fall & get a bruise,

But by applying positive emotions & spices,

And removing negativity & lies,

We surely can rise!

Spices & emotions are alike,

We are bound by these in our life.

Excess of any emotion or spice is a mistake,

But life's only rule is to: break & then remake.

Sometimes a sweet Gulab Jamun; sometimes a spicy wrap,

Sometimes a happy handshake; sometimes an angry slap,

Spices & emotions often overlap.

In times of disparity,

We pray to the almighty,

In all these bitter cries & telling lies,

We make & offer God sweet pies.

We pray to Him to clear all our vices,

And bring in dawn full of colorful skies.
