Deepawali, the festival of lights, celebrates the triumph of good over evil and the awakening of inner brightness. As lamps glow in every home, they remind us to illuminate our hearts with kindness, gratitude, and hope.
May this Deepawali fill your life with peace, prosperity, and love. May every flame remind you that even the smallest light can dispel the deepest darkness.
“The Dance of Diwali Flames”
Beneath the hush of autumn’s night,
The city wakes in streams of light.
Diyas bloom on every sill,
Each flame a song, serene and still.
Rangoli spreads its painted grace,
Colours like smiles embrace each place.
The scent of sweets, of saffron dreams,
Floats gently down in silver streams.
Lakshmi steps in gentle tread,
Where hearts are pure and hopes are fed;
Her blessings, like the moon’s own beams,
Fill humble homes with golden gleams.
But deeper than the festive art,
One flame resides within the heart;
It shines for faces we hold dear,
Though far away, they still feel near.
In every spark the truth is told—
That love is wealth beyond all gold;
And under Diwali’s golden sky,
Our souls together learn to fly.

This is absolutely breathtaking. Thank you for sharing such a profound and beautifully crafted piece.
Your words do more than just describe Deepawali; they capture its very soul. You begin with the universal message of light over darkness, then guide us gracefully from the external celebrations—the diyas, rangoli, and scents—to the internal, sacred space of the heart. The transition is masterful.
The stanza,
“But deeper than the festive art,
One flame resides within the heart;
It shines for faces we hold dear,
Though far away, they still feel near.”
is particularly moving. It speaks directly to the essence of what makes this festival so special—the light of love and connection that transcends physical distance. It’s a powerful reminder that the truest celebration is the one that happens within us and between us.
“The Dance of Diwali Flames” is a true gift. It’s a poem that not only celebrates the festival but becomes a part of it, a verbal diya that shines with its own gentle, powerful light. May your own inner flame continue to burn as brightly as the wisdom and beauty in your words. A very happy and peaceful Deepawali to you and your loved ones Verma ji 🌷🤝🙏🏼

You’ve described the essence of the poem with such warmth and understanding—
