Deepawali- The Festival of Lights
Glittering silver
Twinkling lights
Holy chants
Rangoli and the flowers
Happiness is in the air
First auspicious earthen lamp
Lit before the divine Tulsi plant
Prayers and wishes in my heart
Reminds me of the earthen lamp
Hung high on a bamboo pole
Showing way to the wandering boats
In a story by Jay Shankar Prasad
Let my Deepawali lamp
Guide the wandering humanity to harmony
Let it dust off sorrow
Let it guide us away from despair.
