Aurora Answers

Voices charm, voices compel	
A sparkle over still, white hills.   	           
Tired minds’ subconscious spells
Call the North lights to their will.       

Summer’s rainbows, Asgard paths,
Escape restraints of snowflake nets.
Venting fury, throwing wrath
To siege the sleeping firmament.

Ordered ranks of careful colour
Swoop and spiral out of line.
Tumbling beyond their hour,
Sudden freedom, warm as wine.

Seven shades weave and wrestle,
Strike visions upon rippling airs.
Jade dahlias ring crimson castles
Perched upon lavender stairs. 

Rain and sun spin teasing ribbons
But Borealis opens Asgard.
Aurora answering the summons 
Of cold captives forcing onwards.
