Aurora

in Poem Tags: aurora borealis, colors, night sky, northern lights, one shot wednesday, poetry
Ribbons of color painted
across a nighttime sky
Bespeak a glorious path
for you and I
Smatterings of gold, restless
rose, capricious green
Capture the indigo heavens
for you and I
Restless undulating delight,
weave their enticement
A silent Pan’s flute beckons
for you and I

Pan’s flute may be silent but the sky certainly isn’t. I’m sorry I have only seen the pictures. Thank you for putting the aurora into words.
Glad you shared it with One Shot

Gosh.. i fell in love with the last stanza… so immersed in love that you carried away by and into other worlds …
The repetition really added to the effect… a lovely poem!

Amazing picture. I really like the poem you wrote to it. I especially like the silent Pan’s flute, which brings lots of mental images with it. Very nice.
