Happy Holi Sonnet___________________________________________

Holi, the festival of colors and joy

Arrives each spring season

And spreads the message of

Love and new beginning

The triumph of good over evil

Teaches to be truthful and honest

Renew relationships and brotherhood

Live in harmony with nature and

Stay away from the jungle of desires

Holi is to forget every differences

And burn the ego mercilessly

Pour out our love and affection

That will never fade away

But stays in action all the time

Holi is to let all things go with

The feelings sweet and delight

Sing chorus and dance in Masti

Play colors that last for lifetime

Red orange and green

Pink purple and blue are

Colors of hope love happiness

Also dream calm and elegance

Bring in wealth and abundance

They touch our feelings and

Speak the language of healing

Dye our life with colorful thoughts

And make it viable vivid and vibrant

Holi the festival of joy

Brings in the spirit of oneness

The unity in diversity delight

The bright colors in the air and sky

And the colors on our faces and figures

Bring in a new hope and a new start

The fragrances of budding flora and

The sunshine after dark winter days

Makes me eager to see the sparkling stars
