There is something magical about the sky and the earth when the sun sets and casts a soft pink glow, before darkness settles in. It never fails to remind me of that beautiful time in life! (This piece is from May 2017.)
Dusk reminds me of a time
when life was beautiful and young,
Dusk reminds me of a place
where life was simple and fun.
Dusk reminds me of bashful girls –
heart-throbs on bikes whisk them away,
As I wondered who out there
would join me on my journey some day!
Dusk reminds me of soulful chats
on long walks,
Dusk reminds me of street foods
and window shopping joy.
Dusk reminds me
of those wonderful college days,
Dusk always reminds me…
of my favorite Pune!

Great thought Archana, Dusk is so much and more. For everyone Dusk must draw on so many memories. At various times in life, dusk is the one constant which creates the most memorable memories for some reason unknown. (Probably more so than sunrise). Reading your post brought me back one of my fav memories of beautiful dusk evenings, playing cricket with friends till we could almost not see the ball.
Glad this brought back some priceless cricket-with-friends memories 🙂
That’s the beauty of dusk. As the city starts to cover itself with serenity, the train of nostalgic thoughts depart.
Very poetic response Bhavana!!
