Happy Diwali 2021! Post 02 of 02

Post 2 on Diwali.
Have a fantabulous day, weekend and year, everyone. 

Caution: Rhyme 2 of the day ahead.

Clean up the mess created
Of environment, of the world, of our lives interrupted.

Throw out the old ways and convictions
Of fossil fuels, of material consumption. 

Usher in new beliefs, new systems
Of equality, of inclusion, of perseverance.

Discard over work and tiredness as the mantra
For progress, success, find a new abracadabra.

Adopt a new wholesome policy
Of defining worth by being happy.

Find treasures buried deep in mind:
Aspirations and talent, in the rat race, left behind.

Polish them lovingly, carve out time
They will give joy and is that not prime?

Display your passions, your aspirations, 
Boldly walk towards their realisation. 

Burst your insecurities, your trepidations, 
Let them sparkle towards extinction. 

Celebrate the world as one
This Diwali, 2021.

Happy Diwali 2021! Post 01 of 02

Wishing you and yours a Happy and Safe Diwali 2021. 

Caution: My rhyme ahead, :) 

Lights! We need them so
In darkness we are tired, afraid, alone. 
Locked in, locked up, locked down
Our world has shrunk, thoughts tightly bound.

Now the world is opening up
Stay safe. Stay alert. Let not Covid reerupt. 
Diwali reminds that on the darkest of nights
If we persevere, we will triumph.

This festival is about victory
Of truth, of knowledge, of good, of plenty, 
Of sharing, of caring, of ensuring
That those around us are also thriving.

This festive season let us see light, 
The one within our hearts glowing bright
Of kindness, of sensibility, of the thirst to improve
Guiding us as towards prosperity and joy we move.
