The Beam Behind the Mountain

Sunlight triumphs at daytime;
Every creature could see
Its dazing face full of glee,
Not like this tough life of mine.
It catches our attention;
The rest are in oblivion.

But the universe likes round
Where all things change their places
About these immense spaces.
Some rise; some fall to the ground. 
Sunlight loses at twilight
As human soul sleeps at night.

The beam behind the mountain
Makes me wonder why it glows
Like what a city light shows,
Reaching the sky like fountain
After the silhouette --
Scene a tourist would covet.

The beam has its victory
At this time of my puzzle:
No elite ever settle
Somewhere far from the glory.
What we find at North axis
Is aurora borealis.
