The lights come on when the world falls asleep
It was a way of stealing light
to outdo the dark
Though there's no warmth like that found in the rays of the Sun.
"It does help," I heard one say,
"to be able to see what goes on
around you."
"Indeed, it does," someone else replies
And I agree.
Though in my heart I wondered at the darkness
that sometimes grips one that light
cannot soothe or dispel.
As I watched the fireworks light up the night
A stunning display
almost at my doorstep
to show me how light
raised up a night
to keep one awake
to abide by the wonders before us.
I was glad for its colourful luminnence.

Happy Deepavali to everyone celebrating. I hope you have a wonderful time with family and friends.
