Hues of Colours

Months of long wintery cold gives way

To brush away; the misty morning

The freshness in the air every day

Brings with it the advent of spring.

Trees aligned by the road in bloom

Display myriads of color with flowers

Brings love and hope to remove the gloom

With the different hues of colors.

Celebrate with fervor, from the even of the full moon

Gather around the bonfire, symbolic victory on evil

The young and the old, sing and dance to the tune

Out in the streets with drums are the people.

Kids and adults, smear each other with gulals,

Colorful water sprinkled on every one

Thandai and sweets shared amongst all

Gives an opportunity to unite with dear ones.

 Transcends the divide between caste and creed,

Makes you forget old grievances,

Greetings of Holi hai rings in with speed;

Spreading love between humanity for the season.
