The Light within

Sparkling lights everywhere
yet my heart lay in darkness
Caught in an abyss
of endless anger and lust
Fleeting glimpses of Light
aren't enough for my soul
My soul longs for the light,
the Light within
The lights outside are so bright
that they blind me
Blinding me to the light,
the Light within
I will not light any candle this Diwali
cause I don't need this light
The light I need already resides in me,
the Light within
God gave me this Light
to brighten the world
Dimmed by my past
it lost it's shine
Till I realised that all I needed
was to allow it to glow
Now it shines bright within me,
the Light within
