Northern Lights - Aurora Borealis
Prophet
When snow falls thick
among bare aspens,
I will wade down into
this vale and begin
to make my soul.
When midnight dawns
frozen with no moon
to silver the night,
I will begin with words
made visible, frozen
words rising on no
wind among the black
blind eyes of bare aspen,
rising into midnight
sky with none to hear
except sleeping ravens,
and the world will grow
rife with strange green fire.
Southern Lights - Aurora Australis
Borealis can be seen in Alaska, Canada and Scandinavia; Australis in Antactica, the southern tip of South America and Australia.
My son and his wife are currently on a boat somewhere visiting China, South Korea, Russia, Alaska and Canada, flying home via New Zealand at the end of the month. It made me think of the Northern Lights and my hope that he experiences the display whilst there.
