Analysis of Northern/Southern Lights
Green, pink
Purple, blue
Shining lights
In the North, and South, too.
Spirits dancing along the wind.
Gateway to Heaven, life.
Colors cut the air,
A delightful knife.
Earth's 2nd water
Arrives with the moon.
I hope and pray
That I'll be up there, but not too soon.
