Embrace the Light

It's not about the light, it's about what it does to you.
It's not about how bright it is but rather that you can see
The light exists, and yet you live in the dark
It isn't about the silence, It's about what you hark.
Listen, don't just see.
The light heralds, the good in you and me.
Look, smile and acknowledge the way,
Kiss the light, thank it for your sight of day.
Let it in, let it touch your heart.
Light moves, let it be a part
Of your soul, that till this day was hidden
Behind the clouds of doubt and sin.
Redeem yourself, let the light in,
Be born again, light up within.
And lest the light comes to an end,
Don't think darkness is your soul's best friend.
For the darkness is but the absence of light.
It's nothing but the cause of our own fright.
But fill yourself up with an illumination of another kind
And watch how fear is bid good riddance by your mind.
And soon, the darkness under closed eyes
Will be more kind to you under all the world's skies.
For your heart shines, it outshines the best
And darkness will finally be put to the test!

Happy Diwali :)
