when the dreams are drowned in a turbulent sea

today when you lit the fire
and welcomed the happy spirits to your home
we waited outside amongst the strangers
to shower our blessings on you
but you walked away
hoping that
we will not be seen
but then we are always there
no matter whether the fire burns
or gets extinguished
or just smoulders
in the backyard
where you buried the sweets
we sent
for celebrating your joys
