Sudden Silence

Quick.  Complete.

Softly strange sensations caressed my skin.

Shivering, I turned my gaze

Back,

Seeking the comforting warm glow of the fire.

There, over the darkened treeline marching out into the bay

Against an indigo night sky,

It floated. 

Silently.  Silverly. Scintillating.

A liquid flow of light moving out towards the lake.

It stopped.  Dead-still.

Transfixed, I stood.

Expecting.

Phosphorescent blues, pinks, and greens

Sparked outwards,  arched upwards,

Then drifted softly earthward to merge with
