Why the Colors of Holi
HAPPY HOLI & HAPPY EASTER TO ALL MY FRIENDS ON POETRY SOUP
Why the colors of Holi
.
Whenever spring comes
It brings the feelings of a joyous season
When the birds
Began to sing
And the new leafs and buds
Starts their dancing and singing
On the rhythms
Of the spring winds.
.
When the old leaves slowly leave
Giving place
to new ones to come
And show their flying wings.
.
And watching
These joyous dance
In every nook and corner of Nature
Human hearts began to throb
More rapidly
For spreading the colors of Fagun*
On their beloveds in waiting
With a Pickaari* full of colors
While celebrating the festival of Holi
On this land
We know and call as India.
.
But elsewhere
Where the lovers are
Are not together
And are facing a temporary separation
They sing the love songs
While remembering
Their sweet heart and beloveds
Somewhere far from that place
Where the beloved
May be waiting
To sprinkle
The colors of love
Through the songs of love
She may be singing.
