Sleeping out in Oman

This is a memory
worth remembering
I keep it in my heart
hidden away,
sometimes it choses to
come up and reveal itself
once again
and every time it brings
calm and happpiness

Just the two of us
camping, on the beach
under a shading net, no tent
the sound of the waves
always,
endless time
endless night sky
stars and a half moon
the fire almost burned down
a light night breese, no seagulls
no birds

But then something I still
cannot explain,
completely silent, light green
flying very fast
over our heads from east to west
staying up, not falling down

Should we have been afraid,
I don't know,
I think it was a mystery
and I don't want an explanation.
