Diya
To you who wandered by this night
Of happiness and warmth and light,
Here's a wish for you, a hearty
Diwali wish from Caferati:
More chances taken, with a smile;
More craft, and skill, and strength, and style;
More words read, by more words smitten;
More words found, more words written;
More stories applauded by all those who
Make a difference to the inner you;
More verses that scan, and illuminate
Our lives, our loves and the mortal state;
And forever after, may your diya
Light up the same scene, only happier.
Of happiness and warmth and light,
Here's a wish for you, a hearty
Diwali wish from Caferati:
More chances taken, with a smile;
More craft, and skill, and strength, and style;
More words read, by more words smitten;
More words found, more words written;
More stories applauded by all those who
Make a difference to the inner you;
More verses that scan, and illuminate
Our lives, our loves and the mortal state;
And forever after, may your diya
Light up the same scene, only happier.

Thanks, never had a more elegant Diwali wish.

Almost see the Diyas floating around me in circles and giving me that warm feeling inside! Really pretty.
Perfect, mon ami!
Here's wishing everyone at Caferati (& their families) a spectacular Diwali & a Prosperous New Year!!!
Beautiful rendering, there, P. You lit us up some with that! Diwali greetings, and warmest wishes. :-)

May the lamps light up your life,
And you
Of those around you,
And in the light
I hope you find
Joy and happiness of every kind...
Here's wishing all of you out there
A VERY HAPPY N PROSPEROUS DIWALI..!!
Zigzackly great! Really liked it!
I think this poem deserves a better visual presentation.
As a literary page, I wish we could have more artistic freedom of playing with the visual form of our text on caferati. . .

Following up on my comment just now I went
ahead and did a visual presentation myself ...
check this out to see the poem superimposed
on an image of some diyas that were lit in my
house yesterday night (I was in fact editing
my pictures from yesterday when I saw your
poem first, and had this image in the subconscious
when I wrote the last comment!!!)

(You'll have to cut and paste though it's the
same website - blogger
supports HTML links in its posts but not in its comments!)
more, more! tho i have to be contrary and say your love poems are far far superior...
Pragya, Max, Sonia, DJ, Gee, R, Vij, Khuto, ML,
Thank you. Y'all are extravagantly, flatteringly kind.
Khuto, comment on your interpretation on your blog.
have told you already, but for the record, you get a distinction for this one :)
