[ Diwali is a festival of lamps at nighttime, specially observed in India. It marks the triumph of Good over all Evils.]
When light investigates
mystery of darkness
engaging myriad flames.
Night bedecked in ornaments
fiddles with fire.
As if a lover glued to the glint in her eyes
fondles her tresses
as a poet while scripting an ode to her
plays with syllables.
Mother Nature smiles benignly,
watching relentless dance of life
over deathly stillness.
