Cotton Candy

The Autumn sky is a treat to the eye. At dusk, when twilight is breaking and the sun is saying its last goodbyes to this face of the earth, streaks of  crimson rays reflect off the edge of each cloud which, until that moment, appeared to be snow white cotton candies.
At about 5.30 p.m. , the clouds disappear and a bright, beaming moon comes into the spotlight. It presents astonishing new patterns and images every night until the curtains of darkness close and the moon rests for one spooky night, only to reappear with more bewildering patterns. Once it shaped itself into a diya and ironically it chose the diwali night to stage its act.
The north star is the moon's best friend. It seems to me as if the night grins back at me with its one diamond tooth sparkling(the north star) as though it is amused by the reactions of the millions of people whose hearts it has touched.
That's why I like the autumn nights best. :)
