Analysis of The northern lights



--
Where clouds banter
Where eagles dare
Up without a care
Some how up
The setting sun
Goes not there
Beyond the moon
We’ll see very soon
A comet
A star
Something from real far
If there is
Then it's not
The planets are very hot
Something that astrology cannot predict
Give it two seconds ... no three
There it is
Did you see …?
Something from space
Coming down
Coming here without a sound
It’s so beautiful
I dare not say
Much like a rainbow
In every way
It’s the northern lights
In addition, may I say?
More beautiful
With every sight
Tis that season
In the land
That night becomes day
The northern lights light the way
