Poems - Aurora
| | Auroraby maryanns
Aurora, gentle princess
who journeys through the night
lighting lonely mountaintops
scattering your light
silken beams of blue and green
in streams of sheer delight.
Some say your light display
above the earth in cosmic bursts
spells excess solar power
a fiery force at play
colliding chains of ion streams
chase sun dogs far away.
Aurora, gentle diplomat
who wanders through the night
lighting learned manuscripts
sanctifies your right
to coexist with collegiate text
in peace and pure delight.

G'day maryann...
Lovely maryann as usual. Maybe you can explain. Is the aurora the northern lights? We do have a southern aurora display down here but not often.
Thanks maryann

Oh Lindsay - beautiful Aurora graces both poles, how could any poet worth her salt leave out the beauty of the Aurora Australis? Thank you so much, I've edited the tag! Cheers, Mary Ann xoxoxo

Ah Deepali - I went round and round with S3... trying to apply "scientific" logic - I'm so glad you felt my solution worked! Cheers and best wishes, Mary Ann

I'm going to fav that one maryanns, its simply beautiful. I spent some time in Norway when I was in the forces and the northern lights are something I think everyone should see. They truly are a awesome sight.

Oh so wonderful... I can imagine the awe of being in the right place and time. Would love to see Norway, as well - my granddaughter is engaged to a Norwegian-American dual citizen, perhaps I'll get to visit there someday. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Cheers, Mary Ann

Thank you for your kindness, really appreciated. I tend to believe as our Yup'ik elders do, that there's more to life than meets the eye.
Thanks again, Mary Ann
