Aurora’s Legend Late at night while mere mortals sleep Ocean tides cover castle keep Far below the grasp of dark sky Imagination garden reaches high A world of silence filled with song Only heard by those who belong Curtained waves ebb with the tide Under water-world comes alive When humans lie in silent sleep Mermaids awaken way down deep Silver shimmers from graceful tails Jewels sparkle among glass fish scales Long hair of brown, black, gold and red Dusts the waves, sweeps the coral beds Joyous music that has no end Soars above, carried in the wind Those at rest smile while they dream Touched by those they have never seen Mermaids rise from watery lands Caressing earth with gentle hands Shells murmur love songs of the sea Ocean maidens dance gracefully Sprinkles of scales fall to the sands Shining lights, woven crystal bands Like magic carpets flying high Fingers of light touch onyx sky Strands of color flirt with the night Mermaids below enjoy the sight The horizon shows a light gray Water women smile, slip away Diving deep to aquatic land Offering gifts of ribbon strands Way above, darkness turns to day Beckoning lights teasingly play A magic band, gift from below Shining down with luminous glow All gaze at the amazing sight And name the band ‘The Northern Lights’ Aurora bright, aurora strong Celebrate the nocturnal song … Alison |

Though referencing Auroras dancing 'rainbow-lights’; etc... this is truly a poem of Aurora’s sunrise as well... [shining so bright it is a ‘child’ of the morning star!] enjoyed this ‘write’! particularly loved: “the grasp of ... sky”; “Long hair... Dust(ing) the waves and sweep(ing) the coral beds(!)...”; applause!! |

paullallady & Mr»ÄlleÿÇät Thank you both for taking the time to write your thoughts about this poem. It's still a bit of work in progress as I am not totally happy with the last two lines. But, I do thank you and am so happy to meet you both on these pages. Alison |
