Diwali has come, sparkling all around
I am not upset anymore, as my relatives are here to surround
I gaze upon the lamp’s gleaming glow
Oh what a sight! What a wonderful show!
Vibrant colors illuminate the night
Filling the air with joy and delight.
The feeling of bliss fills up the air
Sweets and candy people share
Even though all minds aren’t clear,
Diwali spirit is felt, bringing everyone cheer
All differences, people embrace
And have fun together with immense grace
The fireworks display is a sight to behold
A celebration of togetherness as stories are told
In this moment, all worries fade
I will remember these memories forever, and this is a promise made.

I know very little about Diwali, so feel very fortunate to have stumbled across a piece highlighting the holiday! In fact, it's inspired me to educate myself about its history. What's truly wonderful about this poem is that it's clear, in spite of all our cultural differences, we ALL yearn for those special moments with family and friends, to celebrate, eat well, carry on meaningful traditions. Despite the drab and the cold, it's a magical time of year for so many people of so many diverse backgrounds, and this adds nothing but color to the season.
