The Festival of Lights

Prayers in luster
Candles shimmer as fireflies
Graceful Diwali

**************************

Clamorous of noise
Firecrackers on exhibit
Children astonished 

**************************

Clatter enlighten
Glamorous of sacred day
Be blessed among them

**************************

Author Note:
Happy Diwali for those whom celebrate
