CONFESSION
Confession
appears too suffocating at first:
As if a piece of
bone were stuck in one’s dying throat,
As if one inhaled
a cloud of breath-choking soot or dust,
As if one were,
like a fish without water, not at ease, a lot!
Confession,
indeed, relieves a burdened soul and a repentant mind:
As a pregnant
lady after a pain-stricken delivery, does a great reprieve find,
As an unpardonable
culprit unloads a mountain off his heavy head,
As a starving
mouth gladly comes upon after ages a crumb of tasty bread!
Confession cleanses
the rotting stains and the uneasy pains inside,
It blesses one’s
sore heart to live a life of peace, comfort and pride,
It leads one to transparency and light; teaches nothing ever to hide,
It wakes one’s sleeping
Conscience, and takes one for a Blissful ride!
Let Confession, O
my God! be my life’s sole and noblest Mission,
Lest I should surely
miss the flight to a Heavenly Realm of Salvation!
