Northern Lights

Who's heart has not be stirred 
when seeing the northern lights
lighting up the sky with beauty
a spectacular whirl of colour

While watching the fantastic show
one is also aware of life's wonder
and of our own unimportance
in the great theme of things

The vision inspired by the aura
is something quite mysterious
the sight of the flashing lights
enables one to grow and be free

Gives one a sense of joy and delight
a belief that all is now possible
friends watch it even if only on line
and take with you the wonder and magic


PS I was inspired by Arthur and his lovely poem

I think quite the opposite, how important we are to God that he created such a thing of beauty for us to enjoy. In fact what a beautiful home he has gifted us with, it is a shame we are such bad hous keepers.
