Notes About The Poem

 

Lofoten, Norway

- Heavenly Dancer -

I can not portray a life without colors
The world's best circus is painted in
all shades of all colors
The canvas of heaven, sea and earth
A major northern lights outbreak
This sky light has inspired generations 
and will certainly continue to inspire people
Silence is luxury, a tribute in everyday life
Play with light, shadow and colors
You can only imagine how boring our world would be
...
   in black and white  ~
                                  or a colorless rainbow

Russell Sivey November 19, 2017 at 5:45 AM "Silence is luxury..." what a well put line there, and the colors that you see within the silence is crucial to survival! You must see the brilliance of a sunset or as you have shown us, the Northern Lights! That picture is so beautiful...do you get to see this often Anne-Lise? It would be awesome if I could ever see this event for real someday...but I doubt I will ever get to, I'll probably never leave the United States! But your poem expresses this event so wondrously, Great Work my friend!!
