Northern Lights

~~~

Charged particles paint the sky

Shimmering in blues and greens

Likes ancient spirits sent to dance

And energize the starlit scene

~~~

A spinning iron heart pushes back

Against what the sun can hurl

Photons forged in fusion

Flung at our fragile world

~~~

With child-like eyes we peer

As ghostly colors fly by

And watch as the Great Artist

Composes the wonder in our eyes

~~~

Rare is the beauty to be seen

Within those cold artic nights

Where science melds with magic

In the aurora of Northern Lights

~~~
