At Kavayyi lake in Payannur .  The boatman silhouetted against the river and the inky blackness of the island trees.Would you like to see what I saw, that evening ? The sunset mellowed down... The colors faded into each other....became nothing The pale glimmering moon turned brighter... The colors washed away -the stains in the sky fading...  fading .... turning inky... while the boatman sat motionless... while darkness crept in.... and night descended.
