True Spirit Of The Light Poem by Deepak Calyampoondi

From the darkness is born the light,
which lit our universe and thus gave us life,
can you imagine a world without any light,
there would be no life, so bright.

Light is everything, the supreme Lord,
mankind has always worshipped it, as a God,
we are all it's family, a family of the sun,
yet we fight and wage battles to be won.

Happiness is the very essence of light,
Light swallows our inner darkness and makes us bright.
it's indeed a universal nector, falls just a drop,
in the form of streaks of rays which never stop.
Everlasting it is in the sands of the timeless time,
and it stands to witness everything and will do so even beyond time.

We do celebrate, an occasion for the light,
to show that we are evergratefull, by every right,
All religions merge on this single thought,
acceptance of light is what they have brought,
not only to their homes, but also into their lives,
and prayed to the light that gave us life.

An occasion for light, with it's wondrous names,
It's a perfect time for parties and games,
It's also a time to call it holy,
for it's the indian festival of 'Deepavali'.

As the rockets, bombs and other fireworks zoom and blast,
fill the night sky with lights to last,
the night witnesses daylight, really a thing of class.

Blessed are we to pave a path of happiness on this occasion,
into our lives and to those without it,
only to enlighten their lives, in the true spirit of the light.
