Northern Lights
We live in the central part of our old Kentucky home
The probability of the northern lights shining all the way down here is so very low
A geomagnetic storm made the seemingly impossible appear
Purple burned the sky aglow
We had no idea, sitting at the bar, laughing about hip-hop beef and asking each other, when you cut a sandwich, which way should the knife should go?
If I could go back, I don’t think – I know
I’d choose to keep sitting at that bar with you
The northern lights aren’t nearly as beautiful
As your smile
It’s my favorite show

Sweet ending!
And rarer still, those moments.
Felt.
A very heartwarming poem, thanks for sharing!
Is that
the alcohol
writing
or
the morning after
hangover…
Either way
it is a
fine poem,
a tribute
to whomever
has been there.
So many times political results, NYE ball drops, party invitations, etc – and all I wanted to do was chill with my wife on the back porch and be, I can relate.
