Diwali

Diwali

Dark conquered this earth once
There He came as a light
Dark is a symbol of sins but
The light is a ray of His grace
Dark empowers this land sometimes  and
The light will rule for a long
It is the struggling and war between two
Dark and light in the world
Light is the ultimate winner in this world
To remember and to worship the lord
               in the glory of lights
Diwali comes every year 
to give all prosperity to us
Inthis dawn
He comes to this earth as a ray of light
to perish all evil darkenss
Pray Him and bless everyone
to acquire all wealth and peace to this land
I t is not only a belief to deny
It is a truth of Millions and billions of this land

hello

Your poem was so interesting and moving that I had to know more about it, so I looked this up in my dictionary. This is what I found: Diwali Di·wa·li [di w?lee] or Di·va·li [di v?lee] noun Hindu festival: an important Hindu festival associated with Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity, held in the autumn [Late 17th century. Via Hindi diwali, from Sanskrit dipavali, “row of lights,” from dipa, “light, lamp.”] Encarta® World English Dictionary © Always, Cat
