#304 Diwali

Diwali

An echleons of zillion lights adorn

When visualised from the space above

Our houses shimmer radiantly

Making even the tiny gleam rejoice

This season of festival

Makes the arrival of my relatives possible

A get-together with my near and dear ones

Makes me crave for their company even more

Pre Diwali preparation with my cousins

Lending few helping hands to my mother

Sweeping away even a lil dust

The concept of cleanliness is must

Mouth watering delicacies

Stacked up in a row over the table

Even a minuscule glimpse of whose

Can transform everyone into gluttons.

As the day fades into night

Darkness is driven by manifestation of lights

Amidst the cry of noise and celebration

I get lose of the track of time

                      

Oh! These treasures of memories

 This festival has gifted me

Leaves an indelible print in my mind.
