Rendezvous with Colours. Poem by Nabakishore Dash

Holi is really holy and
sacrosanct in its mission.
An extremely popular festival
of colours in our nation.

Chasing and being chased
by friends and relatives to
spray, smear different colours
is a very common scene.
People show gratitude
to Radha and Krishna,
their much revered divine.

Embrace each other,
take sweets and different
eatables together.
The occasion symbolises
good relation and fraternity
everywhere.

Forgetting misunderstanding
and enmity of the past is
at the focal point.
Sans it, the very purpose
of this mass festival
is a defeat.
