Notes About The Poem

Riding On Fear and Hope

Skiing down the slope at twilight  
Riding 'pon fear and hope
To avoid the avalanche's spill
Aurora's colors scope

Twilight's green flashes etched across
Night's dark sky in suspense
Loose white, soft, fluffy snow powder
Fear_muscles tense, sounds sense

A twilight adventure exposed
This evening's soft aura
Once in a lifetime adventure
Avalanche and aurora

G'day Sara... Paints a nice picture with words Sara to highlight what I believe are the beauty of the Northern Lights contrasting the snow. Correct me if I'm wrong. Lindsay
