A well written piece Sandra, though I expected some twist at the end throwing light upon the mindless noise and air pollution that is such an integral part of the festival.

Hello Sandra your poem is superb..but Diwali is foreign to me, but if it is from the same God who said 'Let there be light ' and it was so... then you must be very blessed Fond regards Alf

A lovely piece, Sandra. Very well written. The glow of the 'festive spirit' (as previously mentioned) comes through warmly through the words. And the cross-cultural reference in the opening lines adds depth and a further dimension to its meaning. :)
