Diwali - An Ode To Values
Diwali - An Ode To Values
As we wind up the festivities of Navratri,
With Dussehra concluding this memorable array
We have our eyes affixed to the calendar
Looking forward to that one day.
The craving is the same,
As the trio had for meeting their clan
The excitement is the same
As the city had for welcoming their divine man.
The pride is the same
As the brothers and the army experienced after a victorious fight
And the gratitude is the same
As everyone felt the darkness being engulfed by light
This occasion might just have a single word Diwali
As its name
But a multitude of things are to be conveyed
By each of its colours, blossoms, candles and Diya flame
The spectacular lights illuminating our houses, streets, and hearts
Tells us that evil will always be defeated by the power of good
The reuniting of the royal family at Ayodhya
Reminds us of
the values of togetherness and brotherhood
The colourful vibrant rangolis we make
Marks the beautiful imprints on the floor as goddess Lakshmi steps in
And the yellow and orange marigolds framing our doors
Symbolises peace, and happiness, and enlightens positivity within
Cleaning each and every corner of our house on this day
Helps us in pushing out the negativity out of our lives
And being dressed is attractive new clothes
Marks the start of a new beginning and definitely gives festive vibes
Each and every aspect of this day reminds us of today and forever
To be loving as Mata sita
Powerful and true as Lord ram
Selfless as dear Lakshman
And devoted as Lord hanuman
So the occasion might just have a single word Diwali
As its name
But a multitude of things are to be conveyed
By each of its colours, blossoms, candles and Diya flame
