Festival of Colours

Festival of colours an Indian  Holi celebration

Spread over the world through Indian diaspora

Many nations apart from Indian

Celebrate this festival with tons of fun

Rainbow colours and  the source is one

Red, blue, magenta, yellow  and green.   

Arrival of spring, farewell to  winter

Truly it is a festival of great wonder

On the full moon day in the month of March

When Sun and moon raise with full intensity

Fun and frolic with spray of dainty colours

Sing, dance, play the drum and be ebullient.

Lord Krishna epitomized the dark tone

While Radha the white and  fair one

Engrossed in divine and eternal love

Sprayed the colours with joy and glee

Both looked alike with same  hue

and sent  the message loud and clear

be it oneness , equality or uniformity.
