O, Aurora Borealis,

how like a green ghost
you burst upon the sky. Images
rising up in mute protest to nature
As if asking...why so brief,
why so transient this green show
of light and vapor?

The evergreen trees
bend and bow beneath
dazzling majesty.Yet, I feel
like an intruder in this spectacular
display of green light dancing high above
the eastern sky.And, from this photo
image, my heart realizes the true
essence of the Creator to bring

dancing light, everlasting beauty
into the briefness, the sameness
of our everyday lives.
