The day is slowly fading away, the sky has turned into a canvas of mesmerizing colors, I am mesmerized by this canvas. This scene is truly soul-stirring. The sun, slowly sinking towards the horizon, is casting a warm, golden glow that is painting the earth in its colors and it seems as if the earth is also dancing with the sunset.
Strings of orange, pink and red are painting the sky and believe me this is a fleeting moment for which I come to the terrace every day and admire it and surrender myself to its beauty. Looking at the sky is like a masterpiece that changes every second, and nothing is repeated and nothing is the same twice.
The birds are flying from the hills of Mussoorie and talking to the redness spread on the horizon. The playful movements of the grey birds are making the quiet scene alive and I am witnessing this scene where tenderness is merging with sweetness. Flocks of birds are trying to keep pace with the sun, the chirping of the birds makes me feel as if the birds want to collect all the colours and take them to their nests and show the many colours of nature to their children.
The shadows of the houses on the earth have become long and spread out…or it is a symbol of the fact that the sun is setting. The shadow of the sunset is transforming the earth into a black shadow, this shadow is also promising the earth that it will come again tomorrow with your sun which you love so much. Every roof and chimney, every tree and power line wants to hold on to the soft light of the evening, looking at the love between the earth and the sunset I wonder if all living beings love the sun in the same way as the earth does. The mountains of Mussoorie and Balbhadra stand far away like dark sentinels, their outlines have turned black after the sunset and there bulbs have slowly started lighting up in the houses and villages.
On the horizon, the sun sinks into the womb of the earth, finally the light of the day kisses the earth's forehead for the last time and bids farewell. As the sun finally disappears, a calm and deep darkness spreads over the earth as well as over me. I love the daily coming and going of nature. I too embrace nature and surrender myself to this scene. After sunset the world does not look as bright as it did a while ago but the night has its own joy in which the stars and the moon will shower love on the back of the earth.
I will come back after having dinner on the terrace and listen to the conversation of the moon and the stars with the earth and if I am asked anything, I will definitely say "Make me your friend too".
