The Essence of Silence

Echos of silent lights swirling, dancing, surrounding this sky so calm So many stars lucky enough to be witness to this invitation only metamorphasis Silently whispering it's colors of alabaster and tourmaline intertwinded as if bonded in marriage Reflections of aquamarine and tourquise bouncing off a lake below, bearing a face so ice crystal blue, it appears as though it is pure sheets of glass not a single ripple in sight Slowly descending from the heavens, bumping ever so gently into each other as though playing a game of tag Their patterns uniquely individual yet surprisingly familiar forms made even more delightful by their sounds of silence Time to fade into the night this celestial burst returning to where it was birthed Dimming like tail-lights in the fog as the sun eases up over the horizon, For it is now her time to dance in the sky This is picture inspired of the northern lights
