Tales of the Aurora Borealis
Who knew a solar storm could be so beautiful? Purples, reds, and greens shimmering in our skies like dancing ribbons. Hypnotic and enchanting, the Northern Lights have had us humans in complete awe for centuries. Which got me thinking, what did our ancestors think of the Aurora Borealis?

I love this! Incredibly talented
Powerful & insightful! Very well done!
I really liked the texture and formatting of this piece! You did a phenomenal job with the letter P!!!! But I can see the message within and its incredibly striking how well you were able to create an outstanding piece of ART! I am in awe of your talent! 💜
Depession is everywhere these days. P has lots of words to both describe and alleviate it. Good choice.
So many people like to confuse the treatment with the cure. I loved it
How pure
Powerful piece! So many of these lines really stood out to me--"pain prolongs pain" in particular. Great work!
Full of key words on the subject. Excellent work
"Personal prisons painfully promise purgatory" Chilling details throughout! Great job!
This is a excellent poem description of depression using P words 👍👏
This is very well written and accurate. Great job!
This was beautiful!
depict a bleak and dark view of life....👌👌👍
So heartfelt. I’m so glad you put this topic under the microscope. Great work!
My father-in-law used to call them his "happy pills". He didn't suffer from depression until after he had a massive stroke & could no longer do the things he loved. For me, this has been my life. The picture you used is what I attempt to do every day so that no one needs to suffer with me. "Pain politely pushes People past pathetic Pitiful prisms," is where I find myself now, struggling to keep the pitiful prism in place. "Personal prisons", "Purgatory", "powerless", "People painstakingly part." Striking straight to the heart of the matter. "Patience". What so many have shown, more than what seems reasonable. It's hard to smile, though people still cause me to do it. Thanks for writing this. Though sadness is writ large upon my face, you have touched my heart.
❤️
Deep and innovative way to spread the word about depression.
