Aurorae
They say the Borealis reached down as far as me last night
But clouds were all I could manage to see last night
Still I felt some comfort in just knowing that it's there
Even though it managed to escape my wondering wandering stare
How many wonders do we wonder about as we wander 'round alone
How many blunders do we wonder about we blunder about alone
I can't help thinking I'll know someday in my own way
I remember back in the day back on the farm
Dad called us out to the yard to see the Northern Lights
When not far from parental arms I was learning my direction
Do I know more about direction now?
Do I have more direction now?
Would I like more direction now?
Do I have direction now?
Those are some of the wonders I wonder about
If the solar winds blow through the Universe
I wonder if that wander that might prompt me to verse
Is not the wonder which wanders through my mind
And finds someplace to rest
Lighting in, and on, and then moving on
To darkness everywhere
