As the moon shivers,
awaiting dawn’s morning smile
Stars dance in the northern sky
A silky cloak of moonlight teases starward gazers.
Northern lights weave their beauty,
A Picasso from the heavens,
Shimmering bands of glowing ambers and greens
Perform a visual symphony for you and I
Harmony and melody without sound
Hearts beating in time, shatter the silence
From nature’s front row seats
In the prairie wheatfields,
of my mind.
