What an awesome sight to witness. I would love to have seen this myself. The night sky is a source of fascination for me. Celestial fireworks indeed. Spectacular imagery. Enjoyed very much Romaj.

Thanks so much, Chris! I’m glad you enjoyed the imagery. The poem was my attempt to capture that exact mix of awe and wonder the night sky inspires. It was actually based on a recurring dream I have. I appreciate you taking the time to read it.

Everyone should witness a shooting star in their lifetime. As the Northern Lights, it makes human kind feel so small, but within the heart, an explosion.

Thank you for this beautiful observation. You’ve captured the exact feeling I was trying to express. That sense of feeling so small in the face of the universe, but at the same time, experiencing a powerful explosion within the heart. I love your comparison to the Northern Lights. I’m glad the poem resonated with you.

Viewing the Northern Lights are akin to sitting in the electric chair and feeling your ancestors tuning into the most extraordinary orchestra. Other worldly.

Wow, what an incredible description – “ancestors tuning into the most extraordinary orchestra” gave me chills.
I’ve never seen the Northern Lights myself, but it’s a dream of mine. Your words make me want to see them even more! Thank you

Suffering from dementia is hard – for the patient and for their family as well. I know a woman who stood by her mentally disturbed husband strong as a rock. She told me, ‘I know who he is at his core, that’s enough for me!
Thank you so much for reading and writing such a kind comment, ‘ dear Peter!
