Saint Elmo's fire

another vivid memory

For those who've seen St Elmo's fire

Adance in all it's faery glow

Untouched by passing winds that blow 

Just glimmering in green blue flames

That rise and fall in elven games

It's easy to agree there's more

Than what you see

Or what you think

To acquiesce with nod and wink

The mysteries of life are  higher

For those who've seen St Elmo's fire

Wonderful. Nothing else, just wonderful.

What a unique write, as your interpretation gives way to a feeling of insightfulness. Each word placed carefully comes together making a exquisite poem! You are always one of my 1st stops when I come back to the WC, as your never fails to be a pleasure to read! ~ Jude :-)

always a pleasure to read your poetry, always innocent and great imagination, learn a new word (acquiesce) :) .

I loved this. I'm the outdoor type and appreciate anything remotely involving the wonders of the natural world. I have a short story called SMALL MIRACLES that touches on the spirit of your poem if you care to read it.

That's wonderful! You've created a glorious painting of St. Elmo's fire and set it a fine metered piece of writing. Your poetry never fails, you're a real artist with words, knowing how to place them so we can see clearly: 'Untouched by passing winds that blow ~ Just glimmering in green blue flames ~ That rise and fall in elfen games ..' 'Adance', 'faery', 'elven' - words fit for time past and beautiful.
