DIVALI LIGHTS
Tall and sturdy, the bamboo yields
To the cutter’s whims, at the festival of lights
The potter’s hands stand their pride
These lamps hold the flame, at the festival of lights
Notched in the bamboo’s knots
Tiny deyas sit their places, at the festival of lights
A slightest breeze, blows in the shadows
Flicker and dance, flames, at the festival of lights
For Sita and Ram, for love and life
Peace and harmony sings, at the festival of lights
