A Quest for True Colours

A Quest For True Colours

…March Ten , A.D. Two thousand One……
The earth has revolved around the sun
……once more.

Everywhere,

there is a riot

of colour and fragrance.

And one can ask

for nothing else

to have a reason for celebration.

I walk out of my house,

in to the noise of harassed voices

and look at the crowd

……of countless faces,

with the same grim look

which they wore

even the day before.

Not many

seem to be in harmony

with the scheme of nature

and as I buy a packet

of synthetic colour,

a soft wish

escapes my lips;

May all true colours agree

on this particular holi

……and ever after.

And if you

still feel down and blue,

wear a smile and open the door

before these colourful days are no more.

Extend your hand

to a fellow man

And I am more than sure

that life’s true colours

will all be yours.

And that……

is a gentleman's promise.
