The Aurora In My Backyard
Late April of north
Spring to come
Middle of thy night
Thy spectacle above
Flickering dance of thy candles
flash amongst the stars
Three-quarters moon arise to my right
Dance on above from my left
Growling re-iced lake to my front
Babbling brook from behind
Behold thy concert of the night
free for all
yet sleepeth all but I
rush on the spires of lights overhead
ever changeth be thy light
brightness then to fade
yet constant thy directional flow
to apex overhead
Rise forth mine moon
Shower me in thy light
Reflecteth off thy amorphous ice
that of winter
that of spring
Ice-filled lake spares thy shores
As warmth reclaimed its form
Yet on this night thine ice reforms
before my very eyes
Echo on thy expansion, ice upon land
much hunger in thy sound
Feast on be I
upon thy wonder
open to all be I
For silence hears
And darkness bears
A festival for all
Fought I for this
Cried I for what
Wasted circles of my flow
Studied long to what end
Spent time to what need
What is the answer to all have I sought?
Rest on be I Confusion to rest
The answer be mine this night
To all this endless searching end
right here in my backyard
