Aurora

Aurora

Silver lines
Against the sky
Drawn above the
Golden disc
Snowy space
Beneath the cloud
Smoky screen
In greenish hue
Gilded homes
Beside the brook
Flying life
Around the trees
Crawling creatures
On the earth
Rushing spirit
Between the banks
Swimming colours
With flimsy fins
Feather winged
Dip and soar
Waking minds
Inside the huts
Wandering thoughts
Hopeful cries
Many say
It’s just a scene
But for me it’s
The sight of life.
