(A picture of me, icefishing...winter of 2003. My friend, that took the picture, said the aura was not visible through the aperture.)
    
Captured, sheltered-
My matter shows as data
Presented aglow,
By something relative,
Time and distance related.

Somehow it discovered me,
Its mass and I both traveling,
At the speed of light, squared.

The fireball, as day is going
Seeks to drop behind deciduous-
Trees that stretch thin-digits
As if to finger puppet
On the sky for just a moment;
But the sun has pledged appointments,
And so must make a fast retreat.

Just before sinking
It strikes its last kindle,
Firing  the leafless tops
With  roman candle sparks
That cool,
Then fall in visible bubbles
Of purple, blue, and ultraviolet.

Descending circles
Seek gravity--falling apples  
Linger around before
Being absorbed
In an aura/halo surround
That I believe
Protects me from my enemies

In a shutter instant,
The universe is planck constant,
One that can't be measured-
My vibrations cannot be divided
Into life's fractions...
I sit still  
Inside a domed vacuum-
Warm... though the air outside
Is a steady ten degrees

Surrounded by a sun-dog. Great photo of the crisp of Winter.

Here's to you and here's to me and should we ever disagree, here's to me!

Amazing, dear Ford, the picture, the solitude of a man in Nature's vastness, the words you found to render your emotions.

Much enjoyed. The sun loved to play with one of her sons ...

OMG- what wonderful replies...
I thank all of you for reading, and understanding my take on the moment described..

I calls 'em as I sees 'em-this time it seems it was effective.

Thank you
