NORTHERN LASER LIGHTS
A mystery of northern night life
Natures performance of laser lights
On a background of velvet black sky
Dotted by millions of silvery sequins
Shining brightly in three dimensions
The planets and stars of our universe
I feel I could reach and touch
The glittering stars above
In an ever changing pattern
Of glowing greens with hues
Of mauve, pink and blues
The Northern Lights display their splendor
Rolling gently to and fro
As if hanging in a smoked glass window
Fluttering in the midnight sky
Like silken drapes blowing in the wind
I marvel at the beauty again and again
