bioluminescence scene from the Life of Pi
a night of stars, so beautiful to see
no man-made light to dull the star-flung sky
the wake behind the boat all shimmery
its silver glory captivates my eye
no man-made light to dull the star-flung sky
nothing between the universe and I
a silver glory captivates my eye
so luminous the sea, content my sigh
nothing between the universe and I
my full heart bursts with love for all I see
so luminous the sea, content my sigh
this only place I ever want to be
my full heart bursts with love for all I see
the wake behind the boat all shimmery
this only place I ever want to be
this night of stars, so beautiful to see
Kids, when I had first moved to Tofino, and was exploring the brand new life of my dreams with a voyager's heart, one midnight boat ride I saw bioluminescence for the first time........it was spectacular, magical, unbelievably lovely.
Yesterday afternoon I watched The Life of Pi in 3-D . It was visually stunning - stars, waves, bioluminescence, and a Bengal tiger who reminded me of Pup, whom I still miss so much, and apparently always will. I was bereft when the movie ended. It reminded me of having to leave Tofino, and then losing Pup, who had been my companion through those happy years, as well as the sadder ones that followed leaving our hearts' home. My heart sort of broke all over again.
But just to think - such beauty once was mine. I do remember to be so grateful for that.
And if you want to see something utterly magical, go see Life of Pi.
