Green and yellow lights above
Dancing on the horizon
Twisting and leaping to and fro
Joyful spirits in celebration
They race across the sky
From horizon to horizon
I can almost hear their laughter
Like so many kids at play
The sky is their playground
The stars the only contrast to their brilliance
Dancing and playing these lights above
Silent laughter on a blanket of stars
Dancing to the music of the night
Playing a game known only to them
I sit and watch this celebration
The night sounds my only company
I lose track of time here
The hours flowing one to another
What do they celebrate each clear night?
What makes the spirits of light so joyous?
Only they know the answers
Many nights did I bear witness
Watching in silent wonder
I promise myself to never forget
This sight I see before me
These lights and all their splendor
Dancing and playing their games
All across the northern sky
Do they see me watching,
These northern lights?
Do they see me smile at their fun?
"Well, my friends," I whisper softly
"It is late and I must rest."
I close my eyes reluctantly
And fall into a dream
I am up there dancing
Across the clear night sky

Such beauty in a simple smile, has she
More beauty than I ever imagined could be
Angels must weep in awe at sight of her
Radiance beyond anything even they remember
Gloriously divine, her spirit, and amazingly free

My spirit soars at sight of her smile
My heart racing as if I'd run a mile
Tender words of praise come to mind
Describing what is obviously one of a kind
An effort that, I believe, is definitely worthwhile

Her musical laughter makes me so bold
From my approach to the words that unfold
And her blushes fair take my breath away
I could admire them, each and every day
My arms ache, for her they wish to hold

So very much I want her to see
How special she has become to me
From her laughter to her smiling eyes
I have now come to fully realize
This is what beauty is supposed to be

I look forward to the days I can see her
The days I cannot seem to last forever
Then she's there and my worries disappear
As always happens when she comes near
Hope shining brightly when we're together

She has become my inspiration, my muse
Making it easy finding the right words to use
To express the beauty of her eternal soul
And why winning her has become my goal
To show her, beyond doubt, I am the man to choose
