Colourful Mood of Holi

a poem by Ramesh T A

The Earth is full of colour, love and life in the whole Universe;
Colourful pageant of species parades in all parts of the world;
After winter, Holi, the festival of colour welcomes spring season
And colourful romantic mood maroons men in mirth and revelry!

Colour, romance and humour make life lovely on the Earth,
Paradise of the Universe, where day and night are two parts
That rule mankind between joy and sorrow and life and death
Producing humour in tragedy and sadness in comedy, an irony!

As the wide blue sky flute music the Lord blows in the wind;
Yellow flame of fire burst out of volcano to flow as red lava;
Pure water springs out as a fountain to flow down in cascade;
Clouds, moon and stars give ideas to turn dreams into realities!

Colourless wind, water, colourful land, sky and fire are a wonder;
Clouds of red, orange, yellow, green, white and grey are splendour;
Violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow and red of rainbow are grandeur;
Multicoloured birds, fish and plants are of Creator’s power of colour!

Various colours of hues create moods of men to move on in life;
Love is a painful pleasure that leads the bitter sweet life in the world,
Where chances for man are very many to upgrade oneself to maturity
To reach the state of perfection and permanence of white colour at last!
