IT WAS ON A DEEPAWALI….

It was on a Deepawali i filled a day's brightness
in one earthen lamp and from giant towers

of an ancient temple I brought in hand

a song for horizons and boundless oceans.

Autumn in orange shields draped my dreams
and green forests in aromatic herbs
soothed my heartbeats
Hidden stars whispered a canto and i walked
alongside the sanctuary of my own dreams.

Like a poem earth revolved around my heartbeats..
