How can I rise above the darkness, called this life?
Reflection reveals beauty, God’s creation his image unflawed
Yet truths hidden, beg for sweet salvation.
Sad are the ripples of sin, how can we ever be free?
Cloaked in shame, still I ask to be forgiven.
Peace in my soul, the divine relief.
Sweet flower bloom, the warmth of light holds thee
No need to hide, simply rise as you are
For all to see love as it was meant to be.

A moment of vision of self...with inspiration by this quote:
One who performs his duty without attachment, surrendering the results unto the Supreme Lord, is unaffected by sinful action, as the Lotus leaf is untouched by the water...Bhagwad Gita.

the quality of the soap may be infected sometimes bringing more dust while cleansing but at the same time the soap and its work is to clean the dust..so next time it may function according to its original nature..we should keep trying always...
