Fire of My Wrath

A Poem by Pallabi Roy

How the innocence of a child can bring peace and tranquility to a person’s life.

The flames rose high,
And engulfed my sigh.
It swept away my peace,
And burned down my ease.
Tears of rage,
Escaped my eyes.
Rash of umbrage,
Transformed my guise.
Then came the child,
Wearing a sinless smile.
It melted my wrath,
Like a serene strath.
Love doused the fire,
And bliss nabbed the mind.
Warmth calmed the ire,
And peace unveiled the shine.
