Happy Holi
Her eyes capture the orange
that the time's squirter throws,
Her smile's a rainbow today
colorful as her dreams are.

Yellow, blue and green streaks
on your face: mark festivities in
shrunken times, when world ends
where quest for daily bread begins.

The red flies in the air, kisses your
cheeks as a velvetty reminder
from an old friend.Soaks you
beyond the thin skin you wear.

Her embrace awaits on the
other side, to light up the dark
alleys that you must cross; to
ride life's colorful wings.
