1326

[image courtesy dVerse Poetry Pub]
With night comes 
The flicker of tiny flames
There used to be before
Climate change
And present day rules
Hand held spatklers

Sparkle continues 
Irregardless
In joy of family
Reunion
Food music chatter 

Who needs sparklers then
When the sparklers become
Themselves 
Divali night

    Great words!
    Time to look for the inner glow and spark within & sparkle & shine for the world.
    May the lights shine bright. That's what Diwali is about.
