Under the northern sky, there’s a show
A famous dance of vibrant light
In perfect rhythm, they ebb and flow
*
A spectacular phenomenon you may know
Green and purple paint a mystical sight
A force of nature with a heavenly glow
*
Like cosmic ribbons tied in a bow
This celestial event is a divine rite
Weaving organic magic to and fro
*
Elevated on it’s high plateau
It turns the sky into a celestial sprite
Whispering legends of long ago
*
Its hues shift like a kaleidoscope
An ethereal blush that burns bright
Making the stars want to elope
*
Under the northern sky, there’s a show
One you’ll only ever see at night
A spectacular phenomenon you may know
The aurora borealis is now aglow

I have a few stories and poems inside me that I want to share. Maybe, if I'm lucky, they'll reach people who'll enjoy them. 📖

In South Dakota we used to be able to see the Northern Lights frequently, though not with the spectacular ebb & flow (the dance) in more northern climes. Beautiful poem, worthy of their wonder.
This is such a celebration of "The Northern Lights" which sadly, I will most likely never get to enjoy. Instead, I regularly gaze upon "The Southern Cross". "Its hues shift like a kaleidoscope An ethereal blush that burns bright Making the stars want to elope"... so playful.
Hey Brin, I saw this poem and it seemed like a rip-off of your poem. I'll let you decide. The link is in the comment below:
"Like cosmic ribbons tied in a bow"- a nice trope! Have you ever seen this celestial performance live?
This is beautiful and love how you incorporated elements of dance and really made us all want to watch the Nothern Lights.
Ooh, I want to SEE it!
Cosmic ribbons tied in a bow. I loved that line the most. Your imageries were so vivid and evocative! Such a magical poem!
