Northern Lights

above a snow covered landscape

in darkened northern skies 

ghostly ribbons of bright lights

dance over head before our eyes

swirling, spiraling and twisting

a colourful display of nature

painting the sky in festive colours

this experience to treasure

an eerie silence across the land

as this spectacle continues

starting pale, reaching a crescendo

seen from many different venues

once in a life time experience

and on many peoples bucket list

mystical nature at its best

an event that`s not to be missed
