Aurora Lights In My Dreams
Waiting in anticipation,
To see natures marvellous spectacle,
I await with bated breath.
Looking out of the windows,
Strolling out into the garden,
I watch the midnight blue sky.
No sign of natures wonder, as I wait and wait.
I look at my social media,
Beautiful photos of greens, pinks, reds, yellows, blues and violet,
Appearing from all over the world.
Like Christmas tree lights, lighting up all over the world.
It felt like Father Christmas had come early.
People feeling childlike delight to see this giant of the North.
But it does not appear to me.
I go to bed disappointed.
Why did you not show yourself to me?
A few months pass.
A clear dream one night comes to me.
I am travelling in a car,
I see a hillside in the distance,
With a church steeple on top.
The star shining like diamond glints,
Against the backdrop of dark blue velvet sky.
Then slowly,ever so slowly, lights begin to appear,
A kaleidoscope of colours of green, pinks, reds, yellows, blues and violet,
against the horizon.
Natures beautiful art to gaze at for free.
My heart lights up with joy,
To see the Aurora Borealis in full glory,
in my dreams.
