Heaven floats the longest calm
The moon crossed the sun this day

I want to see the Northern Lights
And be overtaken with delight.

But, alas, it is not to be,
The city lights are blinding me!

Nerves

Tingling nerves,
Certainly anything may happen-
Planets crash beyond the moon
Northern lights are our reward,
Heaven in his touch.

Northern Lights

Earth’s magnetic storms
Colourful ribbons of light
Glowing in the dark

Northern Lights

Many northern lights will disappear
they will soon no longer on my winter sky wines
but the night's stars are still there
so a few more days

at midnight
between the  mountain peeks
a falling star

full moon
shining on the pond
a owl hoots

northern lights
 dancing merrily
in heaven's orb

Narwhals

Nomads of the Arctic,
    Never traveling south,
Noble Unicorns live
    Now in the sea, under
    Northern Lights and ice flows.
Near Threatened, will they die?
    New hope in vigilance!

Angel choir rippling through air
the swaying nature
roses stay beautiful

Premium Member Northern Lights - Trochee

Night emotes in sun whipped sheets,
            weaved from rainbow thread.
           Blueish greens that shyly wink,  
                  blushing pink to red.

the moon crossed 
                                       the Northern Lights floats
                                                  as the stars 
                                            crashed into the sea

Heel Turn To Wave

Sun sprites fill my eyes
crystal brilliance synchronize
all my thoughts in Southern skies
sugar tasting wind~

Nerves of needle nights
condescend the Northern lights
as I turn to say good-bye
and make my way to him...
