Northern Lights

Contributed by Katherine Baker

Swirls of color, seductive glare,

arousal in the midnight air.

Elusive grace, granted freely,

one of nature's lively species.

United souls, collide as one,

when art we share denying none.

Observing northern lights' physique,

partaking natures' modest peak.

It is as though we are transposed,

erasing worries, ills & woes.

Abandoning every care, 

enjoying life without despair.

The night belongs not only these,

for deeper still the mystery.

Day is not to be forgotten,

forever sky's bow begotten.
