Life of Light

It's Diwali 

It's my turn 

To live my purpose 

To be lit 

To light 

And then fade away into the darkness 

I am but a diya

As the sun rises 

I become more and more insignificant 

Lost in the brightness 

Of life and it's bounty 

A mere speck

Unnoticed 

Indistinguishable 

As time turns a soft corner 

And the night falls upon us

When the mighty Light leaves us to find our own path 

And souls come searching 

Lost 

Confused 

Unable to discern the shadows

Snake like ropes that lay traps 

Knocking them down 

Making them fall

Into the deception of their own minds 

I rejoice my birth into these dark times 

For now I can be seen from afar 

By many a traveller along his journey 

Bringing hope, light and warmth 

Unveiling what lurks behind the shadows

Dispelling all lies 

To be just a diya 

And the bringer of light 

Into this age of drudgery 

I smile at my might
