Happy Diwali Poem by Nikunj Sharma

Happy Diwali

Rating: 4.6


When you light a candle this year
Capture the spark in your eye
let it twinkle through the life
like a star pasted in the sky


When you light a candle this year
let the glow travel inwards too
through a thick yet warm air
To make you gleam and shine through


When you light a candle this year
look in the eyes of the matchstick
see it smile through the flare
see it live in the candle's wick

When you light a candle this year
learn to burn a candle's way
Glowing self, melting exterior
till the last breath is snatched away.
