Aurora

I stood on a mound of dew kissed blades of grass

Overlooking the lake. The reflection of the lights dancing

On the waters ripples were like that of an elegant butterfly.

I looked into the sky and the lilac and lime flickers

In contrast to the starry night sky made my heart skip a beat.

The silence echoed only by the sound of my breath.

The aurora performed once more before I left.

It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.
