On this Diwali day why every thing feels just the same
Has the spirit of jubilation left my side?
Autumn winds have left accept that prevailing cold
Morning rain has littered the yard with fallen leaves
Wet brown and yellow leaves want to tell the story of bygone
spring
Springing from dirt we reside back in dirt
Life seems to be in remission on this side of hemisphere
Serene autumn moon with its milky hallo recedes day by day
Tonight the cloudy moonless sky wonders about the twinkling lights
upon earth
Is the celebration beneath is in harmony with darkness above
Cycle of nature points towards dissolution of
life
Not its victory over inertia
Yet goodness may prevail in submission of soul
The supreme spirit that reins over all seasons
Submit to its celebration is the message being relayed here
Light a Diya to honor it
Let a pious ray of light shine upon heart
To sustain a dark mood
Wish for a divine blessing to fall upon all.
Wish all a happy Diwali.
