Diyas at Diwali
Popular Poems Topics for You.
The diyas know their purpose without instruction—
place them at the threshold and they light,
their small, specific, oil-fed determination
holding back the generous October night.
Diwali is not just light against the darkness—
it is the choosing of the light as metaphor,
the insistence that the dark is not the final answer,
the placing of the flame at every door.
In every diya a quiet act of courage:
the match struck in the face of the dark room,
the faith that one small flame has a purpose,
that light decides the answer to the gloom.
