FESTIVAL OF LIFE
Poem by Bharat P. Bedi
I was in a Divine place,
where people’s humanity,
was shimmering bright,
dark night of Diwali,
Festival of
Lights, was
lit by radiance of smile,
joy & happiness was
Illuminating life,
bliss was twinkling
in their eyes, like
a blinking string of lights,
from warmth of togetherness,
faces were glowing,
like a golden lantern,
replacing sounds of crackers,
was crackle of happiness,
loud burst of laughter,
sparkle of peace n harmony,
glitter of humane love,
rocket of integrity, was
soaring with prosperity,
light of humanity was
piercing darkness of hatred,
fragrance of cordial relations,
was spreading sweetness
of festive treats;
Seeing me dazed,
totally amazed,
by the divine aura
of serene ambience,
a local enlightened me,
the glow is pure,
coming from within,
as acceptance gives peace,
satisfaction keeps us at ease,
patience helps will to hold,
sharing builds lasting bond,
caring teaches love for all,
humane is the will of God,
humanity is the real
religion of us all,
this brightness this glitter
this glare is natural from within us,
is always with us, for us
every moment is an occasion
for celebration, we are not
dependent on external lights,
to be lit on festivals nights,
as we don’t have to hide,
the layers of darkness, of
cunning greed hatred and strife;
Sweating shuddering shivering,
I woke up with an unease,
from the dream I have been in,
pondering, is it difficult
to live a dream life,
like the life I have
seen in the dream,
adopting simple virtues,
adhering noble values,
seems difficult in this
cut throat go getter,
today’s self-centered world,
but easily possible, if
we don’t let our virtues,
turn to be our vices.
