Best Borealis Poems
Silent sighs hide inside breath clouds
exhaled into sentimental air
as brisk winds summon twilight,
tinting innocent horizons.
Oxygen dances with atmospheric particles
creating a plethora of chemical reactions.
Enchantment illuminates in flashes of
colourful magnificence.
Celeste sapphire hints indulge
through violet shades of lavender hues.
Streaks of scarlet crimson petals
flow among coral flamingo shades
as golden streaks swim through
emerald crystallised skies,
seeking sanctuary within the realms
of infatuated devotion.
and that was the first time I saw her eyes
her perfect gift to the world.

Simple musing
In a glimmered lace of sunrise’s veil,
dawn hovers like a freshly-cleansed nymph,
wafting and bubbling with a spice of mint
in dew’s chastity pool delicately undressed.
The path of upturned boughs rips free
and slides along a froth of peppered mist;
misty in a way newborn day becomes
pastel fingers where wings of her breath
become illumined as it is daring;calling
forth, Borealis...Borealis.
And a deluge of herb wraps her air: a seasoning
moment for this flushed lady to unfold
the carpet of studded foliage cradling
around her heady arms... soon, a gush
of light bears newly-wed rays,
until the fragrance of earth drifts upon
her mantle feeling the delicacy of radiant morn,
weightlessly white; no one wants to speak.

Crisp clean air gently expanding my lungs
Infinite pigments of vivid dazzling lights
Painted illumination masterfully hung
Washing over my body and brain
Gradually tampering down
My intermittent slices of insane
Tenderly reposing my weary mind
I Lie my head where the universes
Polished stars divinely shine
Nature surrounds my earthly bed
Glimpses of cascading brilliant color
Dancing through the evening sky
Soulfully digested, nourished and fed
A blanket that radiates glistening hues
For only my molten laden eyes to see
My breathe suddenly is eased, cleansed
For it has yoked the omnipotent to me
Silently retraining my brain
Gradually tampering down
My intermittent slices of insane

aurora borealis spiritual realm
ethereal water paint leaves me breathless
God’s handiwork, His paintbrush at the helm.
reverent silence, heavenly caress,
ethereal water paint leaves me breathless
wonderment complete as I crest evergreen hill
Reverent silence, heavenly caress,
Never have I felt a sense of nirvana, this still.
wonderment complete as I crest evergreen hill
sacred awe for this natural dream state paradise
never have I felt a sense of nirvana, this still
God’s glory flows within me, in this moment of ice.
sacred awe for this natural dream state paradise.
God’s handiwork, his paintbrush at the helm.
God’s glory flows within me, in this moment of ice.
aurora borealis spiritual realm
When the solar winds stir magic
Unleashed beauty a riot of colour
It undulates and swells, ecstatic
In darkness I stand and wonder
Colours sublime capture my mind
Turmoil of life far, far away
Life on hold not counting time
Arura Borealis forever and a day
Upon the stage, curtains wave and part;
halos arise from black velvet canvas,
an aurora-lime dance.
Arced streamers among the nimbus
lends it’s flavors of cherry and orange,
personality to a taste of the ethers.
A display of lavender-pink tones gift
electric kisses and join the promenade.
A luminous do-see-do sparks crescendo,
a gods warm breath upon the northern winds
and the waters echo the notes
sung by the goddess of the dawn.
She dines and dances her masterpiece
upon heaven’s canvas.
The Northern Lights have always been associated
with myths - fairy tale - mystery and legends
One of these is that the Northern Lights
are light that dances in the sky
together with the goblins and trolls
A dance of the polar sky
In Northern Norway you can experience
Northern Lights from ringside seat
The Northern Lights consists of geomagnetic activity
It is also called winter heaven light organ
Nature's most magnificent phenomena
A party in many different beautiful colors

multi-coloured lights
searching the northern sky
aurora borealis
the setting sun
painting the evening sky
in colours of the rainbow
the glory of the cosmos
unending in space and time
how miraculous!
mischievous twilight, raids the cosmic crayons - green and red missing
multi-coloured lights
searching the northern sky
aurora borealis
An
abstract
northern glow-
'as is' starlight
show
Folded orbs of opulence
standing on end, at the end of the world.
Your colors come and go...dancing...
Weaving...Gliding.
Silently hanging,
gathering all of the spectrum.
Mysterious in your presentation,
yet beautiful beyond imagination.
One has to see to comprehend.
One must feel the smallness of the self compared
to the vast enormity of this greatness.
From whence do you come?
Are you a sign of greater things?
Are you a singular gift from ages past?
Surely there are none like you in all the universe.
I bow low in your awesome presence,
resplendently adorned in uniqueness,
unequaled even in the smallest degree.

I‘d love to view the northern lights,
a stunning sight which brings delights
Dark skies awash with vivid blues,
with pinks and green or yellow hues
A rainbow in the evening sky -
this spectacle would catch my eye!
To see these lights would make my day ...
must visit Iceland or Norway!

Northern lights in vibrant shade
Flaming like orbit of jade :
Borealis.... nights cascade
Cosmic trance heavenly made!
