North lights and poetry



Bright stars dance on a northern night
Down a green path across a purple sky
A celestial highway going home
Bringing the heavens to the earth.

by Joe


Glowing above me
Was a sea of green
With curving tendrils
And a satin sheen.
by Pamela


A sleepy village touches the stars
With colors of light in a darkened sky.
Flow towards the universe my friends
Find surprise in the freedom and happiness
Held truly within.

by Deborah


Snow and ice , and dark black night
You are looking at the skys…
Fairy tale of polar light
Is refracting in your eyes.

by Yulia


Behind the dance of cold fire
What silent mystery, what presence
Sends a message to inspire?

by Frog


Feel free to show us your poems to! :wink::wink::wink:

Seclusion from the city life,
In shambles does it stand
Lit by the Northern Lights and star-spat sky,
Lies our once upon a time wonderland.

Ze, what a great post. Thank you Thomas Eltorp for the photos of such a remarkable earthly event. I'm so honored to have been asked to be part of this. The Northern Lights have always fascintated me but, like you Ze, have never seen them. Some day I will.

Thanks,Jose,what can I say?
That we live in fairy tale?

With frozen beauty of the lakes
With charming view of snowflakes

Here you can see the air you blow,
The shine of stars upon the snow

The endless day and endless night
The mystery of nothern light...

For some of you it is surprise-
We celebrate New Year twice...

But we were given this by God
As a mercy for our cold

FrogBoots 13. October 2008, 20:10

Ze, thank you for your encouragement to post the whole poem you inspired, with the help of Thomas' photo, as well as my memories of seeing Aurora Australis. Here it is:


REVONTULET*

The night is cold, inky dark and late—
As we huddle, chant and sing loud songs of light
To warm us while we wait.

Our group grows still
As each face reflects the luminous sheen
That thrills with an awe that chases chill.

The bright green flash,
A fox-tail red arcs low above the horizon:
Could this embering fire drop its ash?

Or is this shimmer-show
A mere mirror play of fins and scales
Flashing free from ice below?

Perhaps the glint of armor steely
Cast off from the racing steed
Of some womanly-wild Valkyrie?

We hush our song, just in case
These swinging lights should think us mocking,
And swoop revenge on our too-human race!

Even so, this play of glim and glow
As if a flickering dance of souls through time
Enchants, delights, and still we cannot go.

Magnetic lights of solar winds,
Or dragon’s breath with seductive glow: all magic’s true!
This is the charm you cast into our minds!

Behind the dance of cold fire
What silent mystery, what presence
Sends a message to inspire

When, long after, afar by many a mile,
We summon the grace of this living light
And the joy of its cosmic smile?



*”Revontulet” is the Finnish word for “fox fire,”and there are folk tales about the Aurora being caused by a running fox in the north, whose tail sweeps the snow and sends sparks into the sky. However, there is an ancient word, very similar, which refers to making magic, so perhaps that sense predates the image of the fox with the fiery tail.

that was beautiful frogboots! i enjoyed your piece very much. to see the dance is but a dream of mine . . . . to live the moment in space and time when the lights fly (sparks) across the northern skies. good job.

jose, you are most welcome and a very gracious host. :cheers: :happy:

FrogBoots 14. October 2008, 03:44
