Dancing Luminaries

Dancing till daybreak, with Aurora in stride.

Ascending sun is Maria's breath.

That gentle breeze freeing my wishes.

Waning stars hold their places.

While the wards of heaven waltz across my fanciful fancies .

With moonbeams dazzling the luminaries.

I reach for the stars.

It is indeed like watching a ballet of thoughts that couldn't be imagined more beautifully.
I have been lucky enough to see them in person, but it doesn't stop me from "bookmarking" them on YouTube.

Stunning words of the heavens; the aurora sky light in greens and pinks with rising sun makes for a joyous, dancing star show...making your wishes come true, freeing and healing your soul...to "reach for the stars"
very soft, flowing like a silent stream... beautiful!
Best, B

Loved reading this. Made me want to look up into the sky and wish upon a star.

[Chris Shaw]

Lovely to read this one again Cherrie. How divine are these marvels to look at. Still on the bucket list :)

I've been listening to a song called northern lights for the last couple of nights from a group called Renaissance. ha The videos on youtube I see are amazing. Your poem is just as colorful. :)

Love this great poem filled with imaginary.
After reading it several times I decided to read some of your reviews and I found that you ad changed a word or two..
and, you said you are done.. or some such words..
I find it so difficult to be "done" with a poem... When I go back to reread I always find something I need to change or add..
Crazy making... right...
Just want my message to flow effortlessly...
Really enjoyed your poem as I have enjoyed all of yours that i have read.

This morning here in the Ozarks we are enjoying a river of liquid sunshine. Writing is a funny thing sometimes I'm never done and other times it's one and done. I never know which it will be.
Enjoy your sunset and fair weather.

The Northern Lights sre on my bucket list. How I would love to see these first hand. I have seen a video and marvelled at the shimmering greens and violets. Like swathes of silk curtains being unfurled across the sky. I liked your description here very much Cherrie. I would reach for the sky too.

I wish they could travel the globe visiting us all.

[Chris Shaw]

Yes, I agree with you. It will be an expensive trip, but well worth it, if they are seen in all their glory :)

By George, I think she’s got it!

[Cherrie Palmer]

Thank you 😊 I think I'm done

Fizzling stopped my read; --- amazing, ambient, flickering, --- maybe something like these wouldn't have(?). Or maybe my nose itched, who knows. LOL --- Nonetheless, this was a beautiful poem with well-placed emotions.

This is what happens when a man complains about a woman's shoes. She will have to change her entire outfit. So remember it will now be his fault they are late.
With that said I changed 'fizzles' and a cascading effect of changes occurred. :)

[JE Falcon]

Well, I think it is smoother, richer. But hey, what do I know? I'm just a guy. :) --- And as for the shoes, unknown to the lady, I would have planned a late-night stroll on the beach after dinner. But men are not wired to just slip off their high heels when confronted by obstacles, such as sand. So we complain or make suggestions that will help us obtain what we believe will be our ultimate goal. --- Ah, Mars and Venus. :)

Lol so true never speaking the same language. That's why when speaking to my sons I use few words and go straight to the point. However if I do that with my granddaughter she thinks I'm upset.

[JE Falcon]

LOL, isn't it the truth.
