The entire town gathered across the coast

Men chattered, wifes relaxed, lovers kissed, hawkers cried, children ran across the loose dunes

Sun was to set, splashing hues of colours to anyone who paid attention

Time and eyes witnessed exotic shades of yellow to crimson to burgundy and Prussian blue

But what's left was mundane black splatter at the end



The breeze that carried ocean fragrance relived people of their livelihood burden

As the moon bled her ivory white light

There was a magic cast of peace, promise and tranquility

The waves mirrored the moon into million reflections

I painted myself elusive vastness of dark magic!
