HAPPY HOLI TO ONE AND ALL


Here comes the festival of Holi in all it’s splendor,
Bringing along with it, immense joy and pleasure.
It reminds us that it’s time to embrace each other, 
Filling our lives and that of others with love and colour.

Whosoever very first  initiated this colourful  festival,
Must have been inspired by the mother earth’s revival.
When winter fades and spring announces it’s arrival,
Bursting forth in a vibrant ‘blossom and bloom’ carnival.

Flowers of all colours and hues  bloom on branches upright,
Making every nook and corner of the earth so very bright.
To add to this spectrum, the birds and butterflies take flight,
Flitting from flower to flower, adding to the visual delight.

Set in this radiant background this festival brings glee,
Bringing people together in a colorful celebration spree.
Instilling  the desire to let go and with friends happily be,
Drowning worries, lifting moods, and setting spirits free.

The traditional Holi with it’s magic and masti is a lot of fun,
It’s enjoyable to spray colours and greet each and every one.
If only the new generation would stick to the true tradition,
There would be more fun and frolic and much less pollution.

Let us rejoice and revel in this festival and retain it’s essence,
And hand over to the next generation it’s true significance.
Let us revive and recreate the magic of colour and consonance,
 And to the spirit of the festival pay our tribute and obeisance
