On water smooth as glass sentinels stand on mirrored floors as they float on life's illusion.

Northern Lights

Ions swirling deep in space
Motioned bodies keep the pace
Of life within

Illuminate the sky with song
Take me back where I belong
To life within

Dim sweet painter of our roof
Moving slowly to the truth
Of life within

Lesser beams I see tonight
Watch me strip away the fright
Of life within
