Between extremes of winter and summer
let us herald the spring
and resonate with nature,
aglow with colour
of Simul, Palash, Dahlia
and very many other flowers
with new shoots and leaves
in many plants and trees;
and smear each other in colour
forgetting for once avarice for each other
and rent the air in unision
saying 'holi hai`!
Didn't lord Krishna did the same
with the gopis
in the land of the 'nand's
along with 'gope`s,
the milch boys!
