By Rini R. Mathew

Orange, yellow, red hues of festivity
shines on my gloomy panes of sanctity
three of you gleam in pride 
donned in effervescent loins of tide
No attire could better describe your magnitude 
as you spread joy of beatitude 
a light shines forth in glory
a sight to my eyes giving merry 

Clad in earth, chandeliers, stands 
stone or metal unifies many hands 
in Hope, Peace and Love to cherish 
arrays of richness and grandeur to relish
Its a sight so candid of delight 
raising the weak with might 
In ink, columns and rows it emits
rays of candor devoid limits!

My life so decked with your grace 
a note of gratitude for my space. 
For an unknown person as me, 
you are a twilight of glee 
extinguishing the pangs of uncertainty
to doors of certainty.  
I owe you for teaching me to write 
with those three shades of thy light!
