The Northern Lights

A description of the northern lights, one of my many artistic inspirations.

The Northern Lights.

They glow eerily,

Ebbing and flowing like the tide itself,

Reminding us that the path to the heavens

Can be found on earth.

 

Radiant emeralds, sapphires, and rubies

Sweep across the sky like ribbons of light,

Smoke, fire, star, and water,

They drift across the sky,

Sometimes wild, sometimes calm.

 

Inspiring myth and legend,

They have awed us since the beginning.

The constant rise and fall reflect life

And what life stands for, love.

Their grace and beauty astound all who see them.

 

They spread their dazzling auras

In cold, distant lands.

Their grace fills the deepest places

With a unique light, the gift of the universe

To give hope and radiance to the darkest of lands.

This is incredible. I'm a real lover of Aurora Borealis and the Northern Lights. Fascinating isn't it? Your really did an excellent job of writing about it all.

I really admire the words and feelings your writing stirs up.
I'm saving this to my favorites.
