Dance of the Gods
August 18, 2008
Time to load onto the deck, Yuriko and I begin our journey home up along the ramp. The night is quite muggy despite the slight breeze along the ocean waves. The engines begin to rumble; settling into a smooth drumming beat…
The ferry casts off and breeze picks up as Yuriko and I head out to the plateau; The sky gives off a warm bronze glow. As if on cue the sky flares to life with what could’ve been only have been performance directed by Mother Nature; a dance of the gods.
Every strike of their feet landing brought flashes of light down into the earth; With such emotion every spin and slide rolled and glided the warm reflective glow playfully across the heavens.
Despite the grand display their dance continues in silence to the beat of the thrumming engines. Even the mighty Luna seemed timid of such an act that she cowered within the clouds; occasionally peeking from behind waiting for the end. Yuriko and I gazed in awe, I don’t think that the simple mortals behind us could have even comprehended the beauty of the site before us on this heated summer eve.
As the hum of the engines began to slow and the boat lands upon the dock; the dance also faded just as mysterious as it began. Yuriko and I walk down the ramp still gazing the glow of the sky. Never in our lives shall we ever see a more beautiful performance produced by the universe.
