FESTIVAL OF THE EQUINOX

With a whispering wind in her sail the SeaDream glided beyond the dark water into a stairway cast by a silver moon.  Tonight the sun would spend as many hours below as it did above the horizon.  Inexorably, it had returned to that invisible line and the equinox was upon us.  Our faces painted with a reflected glow, the sea and the wind nudged us forward. Ahead all was calm. Behind the turmoils of the day swirled away, lost in a glistening wake.

    Oh, wow, Joe, what a ripper of an entry!

    Takes me back to my days of reading 'Swallowa and Amazons' and their adventures with Captain Flint.

    The image you have made is a delight, but it is the wonderful, wonderful text which engaged me sooo completely.

    My thanks to you, sir, for your contribution to our festival.
