Day 14 Napowrimo

There is no home without me

If there is, they long for my presence

A place of worship abounds with me

It pervades sanctity, an offering to God

I always win in the eternal war over darkness

I am a child’s glee and lovers’ delight

*Deepa means Light.

*Ravana - the ten-headed Demon-King of Lanka. He was a great scholar and master of multiple skills but the 10 emotions (/ten heads - anger, greed, lust, envy, pride, ego etc.) that ruled him led him to his ultimate defeat and death.

*Dussehra - also known as Vijayadashami is a major Hindu festival celebrated at the end of Navaratri every year. It involves the burning of effigy of the Demon-King, Ravana to mark the victory of Lord Rama; the victory of good over the evil, light over darkness.

Napowrimo prompt:

Today, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem that delves into the meaning of your first or last name. Looking for inspiration? Take a look at this poem by Mark Wunderlich, appropriately titled “Wunderlich.”

I am not sure about how this has turned out. It was hard explaining my name - to many associations popped up and I had to sieve through. Do let me know your views.
