Million lights
Buddha’s
birthday
Mahavir’s
nirvana day
Santa’s
arrival
Hundreds of
saints’ beatifications
Muhammad’s
sacrifice
In million
lights
Million
candles
Salty dewdrops
Falling upon
eyes
That’ll not
witness those
million
lights
a cake-walk
over dead bodies
their
unfinished stories
in the hands
of those who burn
those
million lights
the magic
flames
turn lights
into ashes
but those
burnt pages
become hundreds of wands in the powerful hands
turn into
lights
million
lights
