Diya

The day is done; Slowly and steadily The light is gone Above shining no moon Lying like a slender Silver crescent bone And in the darkness The sacred Diya is born I wonder how bright Will be Diya tonight Above stars twinkling Beneath Diyas sparkling Crackers cracking Fireworks dazzling Lo! Diwali is here tonight The sweet smell of flowers The array of colors It might gust tonight Tomorrow could bring Barely a breeze, barely a light Ah! Gods of heaven Stars, Planets all come To celebrate this holy light At the sight of which Children, young, old, Looking happy and bright Ah! My dear Moon Come, join and shine To us be a boon Don't look pale and gloomy For Diyas are here for you to shine and bloom............
