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
