Diwali
Flickering lamps,
a million tiny suns,
piercing the velvet night.
Crackling fireworks,
bursts of gold and crimson,
painting the air.
Sweet-smelling incense,
clouds of saffron and jasmine,
whispering ancient prayers.
Garlands of marigold,
a vibrant embrace,
around doorways, hearts.
Stories of Rama,
echoing through generations,
light triumphing over shadow.
Goddess Lakshmi,
a golden presence,
blessing homes with prosperity.
Mahavira's Nirvana,
a quiet meditation,
seeking inner light.
Guru Hargobind's release,
a beacon of freedom,
shining brightly.
Ashoka's conversion,
a vow to peace,
found in every smile.
Harvest's bounty,
celebrated in shared feasts,
a tapestry of unity.
Diwali,
a shimmering thread,
weaving together cultures,
through flickering lights,
and joyful hearts.
