Always

Vapors of emerald and jade ribbon the hauntingly beautiful sky, and I sat in wonder, transfixed, mesmerized For me, it moved, more like danced to a melody that only the heavens could hear For it moved me, danced into my soul with a melody that only my heart could hear I imagine it laughing, humming, just being alive— brilliant as it only knows how I see it celebrating life, loving it Wisps, streaks, bands, of love and of light a genius embracing, swirling the unknown vastness I feel that there was eclectic music playing, finding it impossible that there would be none. I have looked into it, but I don’t think I can ever fully grasp it, of how it is about the ions of the Sun, magnetism and the air of colliding and bursting into light, glowing into this curtain of inspiring awe and Color.... Heaven's jewels of amethyst, emerald, sapphire and ruby —liquefied, vaporized Raining, swaying, gyrating in that blessed Infinite onyx Sky, Dancing it Amazes me, just plain ‘ol stumps me of how something that I have seen only on paper, on the screen has fascinated me, touching me this deeply without actually ever witnessing it in person. It speaks beyond the image and the pixels, inexplicably reaching something within me, beyond me, staying with me even after time has crawled past It does so by simply being what it is, and of what it has shown me: An inspiration, a friend, a well, a window, hmmm, make that a fascinating door to things unperceived A radiant light with soul. I see it as a pondering poet with his captivating words and thought, a feeling artist who chose to paint with vivid lights and energy, a loving father experimenting with his child about ink and water. I may not fully understand this Northern Light, it is an enigma how it moves, how it glows if there is even a sound that goes with it, or if there is only silence. Is it crazy how I’ve always wanted to write about this radiance, but never found the right words? I struggle with elucidating it, even now, but I currently try to reflect that glow Might be a mediocre attempt, but still from my heart. I have seen how this brilliance has touched other people in different ways and magnitudes, and the emotion rising from within me is heartfelt gratefulness, that I was blessed enough to feel it, to catch glimpses of it even for a fleeting while. No, not in Whitehorse, but only through filters of screen and virtual paper... But I cherish this beautiful Light with a Soul, and I know, I feel that I will alwyas, always do. 050420131054p05051252147r14r16520

great poem Curious as to why you named it "Always" but that's good for the mystery I think a good poem has. No complaints, your style makes a lot of verbs work as well as a lot of adjectives and the grouping the nouns powerfully together. I hope this is what you want to read. It's true.

OMY>>>!!! You say (and I quote) " Is it crazy how I’ve always wanted to write about this radiance, but never found the right words? ".....and then you call these words mediocre???? Oh my sweet girl......are you nuts?!! Thinking you haven't been able to express the beauty??? If only you could crawl outside your own skin, and read this as another poet reads it...you will see the beauty in your own wonder, in your own description, enough that one sees through your eyes the beauty you behold!! Lovely lovely lovely!!

Hi, NIkko thanks for your comments on my two poems today. Yes, I hated WA state. I don't know what was more depressing. My dad's mental illness or the rain all the time. Again, this poem is beautiful. Was able to study it over better this time. It's no wonder you are called Rae!!
