Spiritual Gem
Within me lies a gem, priceless like a diamond
But sad it doesn’t glitter as it is almost dormant.
It lies hidden from view, covered in grime and dust
Once polished, it will shine lustrous, rid of all dirt.
Time and neglect have more or less dimmed it
It needs urgent scrubbing and cleansing, I must admit
With ardent effort, its sheen can once more be restored
Grace me to polish it and make it shine, my Lord.
I know, my body is meant to be the living temple of God
It should be built in bricks of love and gilded in gold
May the light in me shine, even in the thick of night
And stay as a beacon when darkness swallows light.
Oh Lord, make my heart, your sacred shrine
So that in your holy sanctum, I can dine.
Awaken my heart to always sing your praise.
From all wicked temptations, my soul, you raise.
Amid the din and cacophony of the world,
The cravings of my soul go ignored and cold.
I know, if I dare to listen in stillness and silence
I would hear the soft murmurs of my soul in clearness.
My soul should sparkle like the sheen of a sapphire
But its glow and glitter are often veiled by a blur.
All I strive is to make the gem within me shine brilliant
And make my spiritual journey speedier and triumphant.
