On the bridge.
4 men and a woman; on average 37 years old,
with a file of valid certificates, and a safety number;
bringing tribute to the Sunset by sharing hugs, laughing , singing.
What was at the beginning fun has switched to a serious interest in.
We all get ready to wait attentively,
in silent staring at the far end of the sea, where the sun was preparing to ascend below the horizon.
A spoken voice, betrays annoyance confronted with a delay:
“Today the sun is too slow in set “;
As seconds waved in the echo of the sounded thought, the second after took it away from….
In such, we all remain bewitched by the sun’s downward motion;
he is now one with the horizon- line;
Could be this time…

As The Earth since ancient was not taught how to do to wait;
he keeps ongoing the cycle of changes;
The time to moon the afternoon away has come;
and so the Sun has gone this time
taking the sudden burst of bright green light .

It’s just before a departure.
The Captain, the 1st Officer, the 2nd Officer, the Quarter Master and Marine Admin.
all have resumed the work.

We could have had a story to add to our very little ship’s world.
