Aurora Borealis

The physical phenomenon

Of magnetism

Natural magnetic mechanisms

Alluring,

Yet I'm repulsed

Realizing the world's poles will never see the other

In other words,

Polar opposites

Burdening chaos in between

Rapture,

I'd snap the destruction of beautiful,

In Polaroid captures

Therefore after

My breath can only reach you in frequency waves

Or words to graze your senses

As Magnolia and incense

Or warm loaves of bread

I'm beginning to see the Aurora Borealis judging mankind overhead

No longer interested in frequent visits

Livid and fizzling

The breadth of me

Instantly pulled between,

A tug and pull of poles

Each,

Etched hope and SOS in solar wind

Deep core,

Or Earth's basement

And all I'd have to relate in adjacency,

Is potholes in concrete and pavement

A ray of light would appear as Sapphire

Off in the distance

With it's dark and coal remnants

Dim, transparent, and blue,

Depending on the cave

Or darkroom,

I chose to develop this photo,

To tell you a story

Unique perspectives.

The image is so poignantly evocative and the poem so beautifully ethereal...polarity, Polaroid..."I'd snap the destruction of beautiful"- " I choose to develop this photo"-yes, a dark photo with Aurora Borealis judging man's chaos below. Will we get a stay if execution?....Stellar work- (pun intended)! Bravo!

It's been my dream to see the aurora borealis. Even though I see many photos and videos of it, I am sure that the real thing is much more beautiful in person.

You created a image before me- Northern Hemisphere, Aurora Borealis etc. Well penned!
Congratulations!

Whenever I think of the beauty of the sky. I've been lucky enough to have seen it a few times, but your perspective of polar opposites, with chaos in between, has altered my perspective. Excellent, thought provoking piece.

Lorry, definitely appreciate your stopping by. Seems I've done my job.
