FIREFLIES
All are after light
Even the festival of lights
In a reverse manner
Is a celebration of darkness!
If I had eyes but no vision
The world would be just dark for me
These two eyes too are
Burning candles.
Light, light, light
Knowledge, books, scriptures,
Seers, sages, prophets,
All spread light against an invisible darkness.
I am an insect of darkness
Running towards light
A firefly
Only to catch fire and die.
