The Essence of Silence
Echos of silent lights swirling,
dancing, surrounding this sky
so calm
So many stars lucky enough to
be witness to this invitation
only metamorphasis
Silently whispering it's colors
of alabaster and tourmaline
intertwinded as if bonded
in marriage
Reflections of aquamarine and
tourquise bouncing off a lake
below, bearing a face so ice
crystal blue, it appears as
though it is pure sheets of glass
not a single ripple in sight
Slowly descending from the
heavens, bumping ever so gently
into each other as though playing
a game of tag
Their patterns uniquely individual
yet surprisingly familiar forms
made even more delightful by
their sounds of silence
Time to fade into the night
this celestial burst returning
to where it was birthed
Dimming like tail-lights in
the fog as the sun eases up
over the horizon,
For it is now her time to dance
in the sky
This is picture inspired of the northern lights
