The DIVALI POEM from Sadek RUHMALY (Mauritius).

Beauty awaits Us
From Within and from Without
Yet We yearn for the Obvious
Our Blinkers layered our Sight
Our Greed staggered our Hunger

Light surrounds Us
From Within and from Without
Yet We gaze into a Void
Our Emotions tainted with Darkness
Our Feelings stumbling short of our Spark

Laksmi keeps whispering Enlightenment
The stillness of Sublime Sunsets
A Splendour of Laksmi Sparkling Eye
The Serenity of Waves
A Mystical Force to shake out Doubts
The Reflection of A Gentle Moon
A Silent Reminder of Silent Constancy

Divali awakens Darkened Souls
Divali instil Fragrances of Bliss
Divali blooms Beauty with Us
Divali distil Negativity
Divali infuse Lucidity
Divali weds Boundless Purity
Divali wraps Reluctant Humanity

Divali is Stranger to Fear and Favour
Divali shuns Hatred and Hollow Smile
Divali conquers Kali Yug

O People
Divali is your Sparkling Heart
Divali is your Enlightened Soul
Divali is Selfless
Divali is Bountiful
Divali is Blissful

Light is the Universe
Light is Truth
Light knows no Horizons
Light beckons the Enlightened
Light surround the Seeker

O People
Allow Divali to elevate you to a Seeker Status
Allow Divali to transcend your Religion
Allow Divali to wed Christmas and Eid
Allow Divali to wed Love
Allow Divali to conceive Happiness
Allow Divali to conquer Death of Ego
Allow Divali to define our Heartbeat
Allow Divali to become Our Life Rhythm
