Life’s shades
Colours are the source
Of love and happiness
Which enlightens a heart
Gull of sadness.
Tears are washed away
A smile appears on the face
Of those who believe
In the magic of colours.
The beauty of love
Is reflected in rich red
It is the identity of married women
My grandma said.
Nature has dressed its beauty
In the colour green
People wonder aloud
Looking at a nature so green.
Blue is the sky’s face
That it shows the world
I hope it also has
A pleasant heart and soul.
Yellow defines
power
Audacity and
prosperity
It spreads as light from the sun
In villages and across cities.
