Long, long ago
Before the birth of the rainbow
In the city of colours
There was only one colour
Neither blue, nor yellow
Not even red or brown
Only one colour
Roaring like death
Deep like silence
Tent of fire
Tightened from here to there
Colourless colour
Eggs screeched into life
Life gave birth to children
Colours entered into the earth by crawling
Changing rocks into the earth
Some flew fluttering
Becoming the umbrella of the sky
Colours strengthened the backbone
Leaves sprouted on the backbone
Shadows took rest under trees
Dowsing with colours
Drops of light dripped down
Blossomed into flowers
Faces of colours started shining
Becoming colourful
The city of colours arose
Playing holi with colours
Forgetting the journey of crawling colours
Friends! In the story of colours
Those colours are not there
Which are really colours.
