Winter Magic

The Cree Indians held that the Aurora was part of life's circle and were the spirits of the dead who remained in the sky but apart from their loved ones.

Curtain of darkness falls

The sky is a vast space

The lights appear

The brilliance of greens, indigo

Childish delight fills the heart

That is filled with sorrow

Erasing the sadness for a while

days of snowfall....peaceful icicles hang on the trees...I am reminded of childhood friends, and playing in the snow, sledding etc. But I also feel a certain stillness that reminds me of friends who have stilled hearts and are probably looking down at the scene from up above.
reading your poetry is like meditation.
