day six

Aurora Borealis
The shouting of the sky awakened me -
the declaration of illumination
across my shrouded window.

Roused from one dream
and falling into another,
I held my breath and moved closer.

Luminescence firmly expressing
a choreography imprinted in my memory,
igniting a message for the world.

Awed - moved - changed
like the moment you first realize
that you are alive and animate and living.

Not even poetry can do justice
to the night the sky split open
and the heavens came out to play.
