we share buttered toast
and warm mugs of coffee & tea
sky is blazing storm
colorful stardust, weaving of lights
over mountains with ancient trails
and lakes, silent choir of blue
we are awed by sacred-
swept by immeasurable tides-
universe's sky dance
a glimpse of heaven's door-
and you-
wish we can stay here forever-
Aurora Over the Alberta Sky

I will be travelling to Alberta this summer and I can't wait to see the mountains and lakes.
Sure quite the sight, wanting it to forever take flight. Bet you'll enjoy the trip indeed.
ReplyDeletesilent choir of blue...sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThat is a sight I have long wished to see. Silent choir of blue and awed by sacred are the lines which particularly resonated with me.
ReplyDeleteTo witness the aurora is such a magical experience and I love this poem, especially 'universe's sky dance
ReplyDeletea glimpse of heaven's door- ' xxx
This is such a peaceful postcard poem, Grace. I like the layout very much - it emphasises the open space of the place. I love the phrases'weaving of lights' and 'silent choir of blue'.
ReplyDeleteBreath-taking...I want to be there too. Sounds and looks beautiful. X
ReplyDelete'silent choir of blue' - lovely!
ReplyDeleteThere is something wonderful about the sky at night, from dusk and thereafter. Heaven streaked across the sky at dusk is the most wonderful sight.

This sounds wonderful! I would not want to leave either.
ReplyDeleteLovely postcard :) You capture the vastness of the sky.
ReplyDeleteStill have memories, of a trip to Edmonton, Alberta, in 1980, visiting family, mesmerized by brilliance of the nighttime sky and a thunderstorm, I witnessed there. Thank you, Grace, for bringing back these memories, for me.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes , yes...awed by Sacred indeed.
ReplyDeleteVery nice :)
ReplyDeleteSo lyrical!
ReplyDeletereally beautiful Grace !!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
Ah, peaceful sigh. This is a gorgeous post, Grace. There is indeed a sacred quality to nature.
ReplyDeleteThe quiet of the moment, along with the aurora shining above, makes it seem like an otherworldly experience. It would be incredible to see the Aurora. Hope you get to
ReplyDeleteNice picture of the northern lights. They are an amazing "sky dance".
ReplyDeleteDazzling delight on the imagination
ReplyDeletewow. You got the universe in there. Lovely, Grace. the imagery was beautiful and evocative. Will you be able to see Northern Lights when you are in Alberta? They dipped down to central New Jersey when I was a girl and we lived in the countryside. It was like green taffy ribbons shimmered in the pitch black sky.

Me too, Grace. Wish I could stay there forever and join in the "universe's sky dance"! - Alwi
ReplyDeleteAn image honoured with words.
ReplyDeleteThrough this I felt the impending summer storm..I like 'buttered toast' and 'weaving of lights'..
ReplyDeleteI missed my postcard too and posted it here. Loved yours. It would be a lucky person on the receiving end of that!
ReplyDeleteOoh this is absolutely stunning both in words and image!❤️
ReplyDeleteover mountains with ancient trails
ReplyDeleteand lakes, silent choir of blue....perfect!

Lovely postcard. The kind that makes you wish you were there.
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite section:
ReplyDelete"silent choir of blue

(You misspelled "northern" in the title.)
thanks very much ~
DeleteAh, romantic again. Very sweet. Great for a postcard, and a fun memory. I've not seen those lights -- and hope to someday with my lover. I am sure I would want to stay their forever too.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is so lovely! ♥
ReplyDeleteI long to see a sky dance, just like the one you nicely described. It must be so awesome ... :-)
ReplyDeleteThere is something about sharing a bit of food amidst a glorious commune with nature that turns those moments into a feast for the human spirit.
