A chill descends on the streets ...
Invaded by bursts of radiant lights,
The night beckons with a cold touch!

Diwali's cousin 'Winter' whispers:
"Here I come".

As the cracker-sounds
Drown out the whispers;
The change in intensity is
Unmistakable!

A mild shiver, a longing for warmth
That these fireworks conjure up!
