They will be lit, lamps all… luminescent in their pious glow,
I will sit under starry skies… reminiscing of days long ago,
When the lights and endless laughter were a part of the day,
When life had a colour, a glow… like a rainbow at play,
Near ones, loved souls whose nearness was sheer joy,
Old rituals, customs and festivities not just a routine ploy,
Passed away…  those moments and ones who are now of yore,
Shall never return again… my blissful past to make me smile like before,
Yet, I shall light the lamp, and seek the stars again on Deepawali night,
My homage to moments, feelings and loved ones whom I shall never sight.<\/p>\n

Wish everyone a most wondrous, joyous and a peaceful Diwali.  It is not just a day<\/a> to light lamps but to light up our lives.  And the only way to do it, is to light up the lives of others…!  May the lamp glow and dispel the darkness of hatred, violence, selfishness, greed and fear….and may God bless us all!!<\/div>\n
