Curiosity's Danger
From darkness lights rise
as bright hues paint night spectrums,
dancing eerily.
Alaskan visitors gasp;
sights they long to see appear.
Unaware they are
of impending disaster.
Earth’s slightest tremor
crushes through icy capsules,
casting glaciers on tourists.
Aurora remains,
though none are left to view it.
Victims’ curiosity
leads to death by avalanche
as nature overpowers.
