Luminous Legacy: Ode to the Humble Lightbulb


 

The paragraph reflects on the significance of the incandescent lightbulb, inspired by a painting by Miss Diya Tibrewal, amidst the prevalence of modern lighting solutions.

The poem reflects on the beauty and significance of a filament bulb, emphasizing its delicate structure and the illumination it provides, portraying it as a “guardian of the dark” and a symbol of inspiration for dreams and desires.

Join us as we celebrate the charm of the incandescent bulb, a testament to the wonders in simple things.


 

In the velvet cloak of night,
A single bulb, radiant, bright,
Hangs in silence, softly glowing,
In the dark, a beacon showing.

Filaments like threads of gold,
Secrets of the past they hold,
Encased in glass, a fragile sphere,
Illuminating far and near.

Warmth of amber, flickers dance,
In a timeless, gentle trance,
Orb of wisdom, light’s embrace,
Guiding through the shadowed space.

Around it, dots of golden hue,
Scattered stars in midnight blue,
Whispering tales of distant fire,
Of dreams alight and hearts’ desire.

Electric whispers hum in air,
A symphony beyond compare,
In this humble, glowing light,
Exists the magic of the night.

Lightbulb, guardian of the dark,
Keeper of a luminous spark,
In your glow, the world is seen,
A canvas vast, serene, serene.

Though newer lights now take the stage,
With efficiency to mark the age,
Still, your old-world charm remains,
In every glow, your legacy sustains.

So in this quiet, sacred hour,
Reside both mystery and power,
In your radiance, small yet grand,
Lie the wonders of this land.
