Rituals of HOLI Festival

Holi

You asked me about why this HOLI in March ?
why do you burn these stems and shrubs ?
and running around it, shouting loud talk ?

O friend! It's my tradition to combust egos, anger, stubborn hartedness unseen under my soft and shining bark.

Let me burn my disbeliefs , wounds, smirk ,
lurk , sulk mask and mark

Let me shout to remind my sole that I am the pure remain
of gold after the burning the dark.

Cos I know there is a new season of spring
with a fresh foliage of obedient ark

Which is a beginning within of a Phoenix spark
