About nights and days,
Of happy times.
No more tears cried.
I think of cloudy days.
With you and me
Snuggled under a blanket.
Talking of our fond memories,
Laughing and joking.
About how we
Made it through our toughest days.
I dream
Of us together.
Sitting on a swing on the porch,
Watching our family.
As we grow old together watching life
Happen before our eyes.
I neglected to tell you that cold winter night,
How you took my breath away.
The silence between us lingered.
I, to afraid to utter the words I had longed to tell you.
You looked at me with love in your eyes.
And though my heart knew
I could not speak.
You kissed my forehead and then you left.
In the silenced filled room my heart sank.

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?
