Soulmates

Have you ever seen the northern lights
Mirrored in a still lake
The reflection captures its beautiful smile
As the lights begin to wake

The lights have found their soulmate
As they dance throughout the night
The reflection matches his every step
To her partners pure delight

The lake gives off a tiny ripple
As if it's trying to smile
The stars have all refused to shine
Lost, in blind denial

The Aura Borealis 
Then quietly slips away
One more flash to say goodbye
For it has to end this way

The lake has lost her soulmate
For the lights have finished his dance
The reflection resumes it's slumber
Until its next romance

Awesome, Larry! I was spellbound by the dancing lights of the aurora borealis and the image of a mournful lake that's lost its reflection. Love, Carolyn
