A Walk Along the Sea Shore

I stood in melancholy on the shore,
Listening to the roaring waves
Soon the ball of fire started bidding good-night
Gradually descending to kiss the ocean.

The scattered yellow light turned to black
Giving way to beautiful dusk.
The mystic moon appeared in the sky,
And the tiny silvery stars glittered.

The moonflower uncovered and blossomed
In the depths of the beautiful night,
And the sand below looked like a golden bed,
Leaving me enthralled and mesmerized.

I experienced peace and tranquillity,
When the evening breeze gently touched my skin.
My crestfallen mood swiftly changed,
And a smile crept across my face.
