Aurora Borealis

Crisp clean air gently expanding my lungs
Infinite pigments of vivid dazzling lights
Painted illumination masterfully hung
Washing over my body and brain
Gradually tampering down
My intermittent slices of insane

Tenderly reposing my weary mind
I Lie my head where the universes
Polished stars divinely shine
Nature surrounds my earthly bed
Glimpses of cascading brilliant color
Dancing through the evening sky
Soulfully digested, nourished and fed

A blanket that radiates glistening hues
For only my molten laden eyes to see
My breathe suddenly is eased, cleansed 
For it has yoked the omnipotent to me    
Silently retraining my brain                                           
Gradually tampering down 
My intermittent slices of insane
