The sky blue looked vast and bright,

The immenseness of it made the world seem right.

But the bay today was different I thought;

"How could it dazzle pink?" with my mind I fought.

Just then the pink dye seemed to run,

On to the blue waters, cheering the setting sun.

Did the blush flutter, or were my eyes mistaken,

I focused to unriddle what in my view had shaken.

What encountered was a sight to treasure and behold;

A thousand feet danced as it would unfold.

Long necks upright today swayed in unison,

Jogging memories of troops conquering a bastion.

As the wings of flame flapped and wiggled,

A surge of magma in cool waters I envisioned.

Still and bewildered, as though in deep trance,

Amazed, I goggled at this majestic dance.
