Holi

This is my mom's favourite :)

The colours flew around, people everywhere,

Noise of the drums mighty,

But she seemed to notice only him,

Seemed to analyze the words he just said over the noise of the drums..

Though it was only a whisper.

She searched his eyes as if to ask whether the words said were genuine, 

Searched for the answer,

She smiled, finding her answer in his eyes, finding love..

And there in the midst of all those people playing holi,

She whispered to him over the drums the promise

To spend the rest of her life with him,

She whispered yes..
