The bright dancing lights of the aurora are actually collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that enter the earth's atmosphere. The lights are seen above the magnetic poles of the northern and southern hemispheres. They are known as 'Aurora borealis' in the north and 'Aurora australis' in the south.. 
Auroral displays appear in many colours although pale green and pink are the most common. Shades of red, yellow, green, blue, and violet have been reported. The lights appear in many forms from patches or scattered clouds of light to streamers, arcs, rippling curtains or shooting rays that light up the sky with an eerie glow.

There are many great version of the song, 'first time ever I saw your face'.  I chose the version by Johnny Cash, because of the devotion he had toward the woman he loved (June Carter Cash)

Silent sighs hide inside breath clouds exhaled into sentimental air as brisk winds summon twilight, tinting innocent horizons. Oxygen dances with atmospheric particles creating a plethora of chemical reactions. Enchantment illuminates in flashes of colourful magnificence. Celeste sapphire hints indulge through violet shades of lavender hues. Streaks of scarlet crimson petals flow among coral flamingo shades as golden streaks swim through emerald crystallised skies, seeking sanctuary within the realms of infatuated devotion. and that was the first time I saw her eyes her perfect gift to the world. Silent One 26 October 2017 Simple musing

This attracted my attention, I have quite a few poems on auroras my favourite phenomenon for the colour but I didn't know it had pinks too, my 2nd fav colour. Hey this was an intellectual amazing and exquisite poem I admire lots. Can I steal the pic, is it of you and your beautiful girlfriend? I mean steal it to write on it? I would credit it to you of course with your pen name that I know, silent one. Best wishes. Kudos for the poetry.

Your imagery is so much more beautiful and such a contrast to the scientific description. I never heard johnny sing that song. Two gifts you gave me this morning. SuZ

Silent One, your last two lines, very intimate lines, bring the beauty of your awe-inspiring imagery of love from unreachable celestial heights down into that personal space between two people close enough to be looking into each others' eyes for the first time as their love ignites... An exquisite write. The performance by Johnny Cash was breathtakingly soulful and the video amazing...
