Light Show

Out of a clear and starry night,
I am awed by waves of light.
Undulating cross the sky,
Aurora's banners toss on high.
Colored streamers ebb and flow.
Sometimes dim and sometimes grow.
The walls of brightness swing and sway.
Northern lights are on display!

BettyLou~
Just yesterday a friend sent me such a lovely web site of the lights of the Aurora Borealis~

Beautiful to read your piece ... it made the images fairly dance in my eyes~

I saw them often in North Dakota but not so often here.  They are awe inspiring.  And so is your poem.  Love, Joyce

Dear Marge:

I used to see them so often when we lived in Canada.  Not so often here where we are, as we are surrounded by high hills and trees. They are seen in our area though. Such an awesome sight!

Love
Betty Lou

Dear Joyce:

Seeing the northern lights is not something you ever forget, is it?

passing shadows:  They are pretty impressive!  I lived in Canada during my early years and have seen some magnificent displays up there.  Wish you could see them too.

Dear Betty Lou

I have heard of the 'Aurora'(Northern Lights), but down under the only light show that we get here is from lightning.

You have had some wonderful experiences in your life time and as 'our narrator' I can 'see' them too.

Love Isobel ox

Dear Isobel:

The northern lights are very spectacular and I'm glad I have the memories of them.
You have beautiful constellations in your night skies I know, that we never see. we each have our share of beautiful things i guess. Thanks.

Love
Betty Lou
