The Southern Lights

Tonight the sunset in the south In its place a peculiar mist Of lasers and flashing lights arose Beaming light from nowhere to everywhere With no cloud in sight, no rain drop fell No lightning cracks or nightmarish thunder Only smiles of awe and gladness Only marvel and crystal, pure happiness The stars were outshone for once I needn’t sleep nor dream nor hope this night These lights mimic every dream ever had come true Represent every colour I can ever imagine to see with my mind’s eye Every light to celebrate every new beginning in the spring of life Tonight I will not think about tomorrow’s uncertainties Nor brood about all my yesterdays – to be forgotten This moment has come for once in a lifetime and may never return I’m not a prophet, and will not waste it on interpreting my dreams Or wishing upon a shooting star too fast and too far to care I will use it to unravel what the universe it always trying to hide End the mystery that has haunted men sailing in boats Out exploring by the southern nights Find the beginning and the end of this rainbow That decided to dance between space and the sphere of my dreams And light up my life
