Northern Lights

A little something not dark and depressing for a change.

On the edge of the world,

Colorful ribbons of emerald and gold

Dance and collide with each other

Across the northern diamond sky.

 

Torches held in the divine spirits

Brightening a winter wonderland.

Pahways of light from the dead,

A masterpiece for any artist to admire.

 

 

 

Author's Note

The alaskan legend for Northern Lights is spirits of the dead making pathways of light for the world below.

It is so fortunate that I get to read this poem at this time, I am abroad and under the Northern Lights which makes this poem of yours a special one for me. Thank you for sharing, maybe I didn't need to see them after all, you captured it rather well in verse.

I like this poem, it is very vivid and the picture is wonderful. I feel like I am watching this scene while I'm reading the poem. Great Job!

A mystical convergence of apptidute to intelligence and sheer artistic temprement, well pened, a great read.
