DIWALI DARKBAT

Wrote this a few days before Diwali hope you like it  

The city is covered in sparkling lights
just like a forest swarmed with fireflies
humans in the city  smile and keep on with their life
some stand on the street
with rough and dirt-colored bare feet 
yet it is with their full heart and soul
they embrace their feelings
the freshness and hope  that comes with
every wind they greet 
they live by their heartbeats
and their eyes twinkle with joy
hope and happiness when they
find their loved ones
lighting a mud candle
and devouring the food
they got to eat
donated by some good-hearted
humans some of whom
are sitting in their homes

Singing songs 

And enjoying family dinner 

whilst some of them are driving cars
in the city during the early night
as their eyeballs expand when they see the lights
decorating many buildings and monuments
and trees and roads
they smile and inhale the fresh
the scent of sweets cookies and ice cream
But the thing both of the people share
or have in common with are
their accelerating heartbeats
the fresh and cold night wind
they inhale in their breaths
they witness the lights of the city
and a glimmering light of hope
that sparkles from their dreamy eyes
as all of them lie down that night
hoping to fulfill their different dreams
as all of them lie down that night
believing in themselves more than tomorrow
as all of them lie down
even for a little bit loving their soul
with breaths and a hopeful courageous loving
 soul and a beating heart
 all of them lie under the 
starlit  sky,
