Diwali

Diwali has come, sparkles are all around

I am saddened, because you aren’t here to surround

But as I see you glow, far in the sky

I too radiate, with a contented sigh

You are away, can’t see you though

I come to hug you, when the breeze blow

The fragrance I exude, people admire

If I don’t gust you, I don’t acquire

Pebbles that trouble, you in your gait

It’s me who is lying, for you to raise

The dais I am on today, able to sway

Is because you held me, sometime in your way

I do miss your being around, festivals amplify

But am gratified living, in an era you glorify

Continue to shine, from your part in the space

By accepting my wishes, do give me an embrace
