Beauty

The sun slowly dipped
In the Arabia Sea...
The sky was painted in myriad red tinges
The sea below, dappled in gold
Couples walking hand in hand
Stood still to soak in the beauty together
The beggar leaned on his staff
As golden waves lapped around his toes
The kids waved at the sinking sun
Their faces shining with joy
The busy hawkers took a moment off
As serenity wrapped up the day
Mumbai stood still
All watched with baited breath
Till twilight descended
Softening the harsh edges of the city
