aurora borealis (northern lights) REVISED, REPOST

With the geomagnetic storms affecting
earth, one of the positive aspects is
seeing the Northern Lights, especially
in Northern climes. If the geomagnetic
storm is strong enough, people in the
southern states may catch a glimpse of
the Aurora Borealis. Of course, the
displays are not as bright or intense
as those up North, but we'll take what
we can get!!

They were seen last night as far south
as Houston, Texas.

I'm out the door to search for them again tonight!
---------------------------------------------------------------

Transparent curtains
Shimmering in the night sky
It's the Northern Lights

A rare treat, indeed
for those living this far south
A Celestial show

Such beauty displayed
All colors of the rainbow
Arc among the stars

Teasing, pleasing dance
Captured by grace of motion
I am mesmerized

Glistening red, white
The skies are ever changing
By light, I'm transfixed

My friend says to me
Don't whistle, they will take you
Do it anyway

Spirits of the sky
Please find me worthy to watch
Your ceremony

O!  to be that free
No more worries, no more strife
Come take me with you

I close my eyes, dance
With Aurora as my guide
But the show must end

Alas, the lights fade
But I have the memories
BUT FORGOT THE FILM

(C) Karla Dorman, 2003/Revised 2003.

I too am cursed by NJ.
But I've been to Maine plenty of times to know what this is about.
And it does make it here once in a while.
I'm ready for another comet by the way.
Great write!

I have always to view the Aurora B. while high, maybe tonight I will get that chance...although we seem to have an overcast as always when something is happening of importance that we can get to see, NJ is overcast! Oh well time to cast over living in NJ, LOL! As always, you create such a wonderful picture, and even if you have no film, the picture developes quite beautifully! Peace, ED & Rufuz

I often overlook the usual miracles, like life itself, or the sun coming up every morning, or the blood streaming through my veins. But, a comet or Aurora have a way of reminding me that I'm not just the result of electrons and protons being shaken and stirred into life. Thank you for your eloquent reminder.
