Phoenix |
|
Seated among others in the Kapiolani Park amphitheater early one evening a quarter-century prior to my 58 years of human experience at this writing, having been born into materiality August 16, 1934 CE, I saw the phoenix motionlessly hovering beneath lazy, low clouds offshore and mutely watched it occasionally maneuver as the sun slowly set. I saw it again later, contoured by shadows and Waikiki lights. With a sudden smooth enlargement in space the metallic phoenix with large opaque sodium orange windows approached very close, soundlessly hovered in cloaking darkness over the palm trees, then silently departed. I know not where it came from, nor did others seem to perceive its presence. Some looked askance at me as I looked at it, yet none but myself overtly acknowledged the off world phoenix. |
