The icy wind lashed at my face like a hundred tiny blades as I climbed the final few paces up the mountain.
The snow crumpled under my feet as I reached the crest. In that moment my lungs emptied with a sharp gasp.
It was beautiful, the neon green and deep blue creating waves across the sky. I was instantly lost in the forbidden ocean above me and almost fell off the cliff in front of me in my h...
Walking around in the night in the dark
Looking down at the ground
Going through a forest of pine and snow
Moving slow as the hill rise higher
Coming up to a clearing
Feeling slow
Feeling cold
Seeing your breath
Wanting to go back to the cabin and sit by the fire
Loosing feeling in limbs but you keep pushing
Keep moving
And then you just stop
Right in the middle
Snow knee high
Fingers frozen...
I was thankful for the fire. The cold had gone deep under my skin, no matter how much I bundled up. I heard the crunching of snow around me as other spectators got ready for the big event. The snowy landscape around the light-brown wooden buildings was spotted with the orange of firelight — enough for people to see, but sparse enough to keep the sky as dark as possible.

When we saw it, it took our breaths away. It being the phenomenon that is the Northern Lights. In the cold, crispy night we observed the the clumsy clouds cluttering the skyline. We waiting in anticipation. We rubbed our hands together to keep warm and waited patiently for the spectacle.

The chilling grass cools my back,
sending a wave of shivers up my spine.
My fingers spread open to grasp, a chunk of the green, musky earth hairs.
I stare up at the colours, violet, blue, and green, whisking in the sky. My cheeks tug the corners of my mouth up, ever so slightly…While soft chuckles brush past my lips, with glee....
Beautiful, exhilarating, audacious lights. I feel so plain next to them. They wink and twinkle across the sky, flashing blue, green and purple. So simple, so complex. Way up in the atmosphere the colors gleam with liveliness. I look up at the one I love and wonder how he chose me. He is angelic in the lights, and I wonder how to him I could be seen. I know the answer. He is better than all of us. ...
Ethereal lights of unbelievable beauty, where colours fuse to paint the dark sky in metallic hues of green, purple and pink. Like a dream I never want to wake up from, I marvel at this celestial ceiling that feels from another world. I’m humbled. Incredibly moved. Tears fill my eyes; that only happens whenever I’m in the presence of unexplainable grace. It’s as if I’m not on Earth anymore, but som...
I wonder what other mysteries the world holds hidden from our views. True, we can, under certain conditions, catch a glimpse of the northern lights...and my god what a sight! The colors! The whole sky lit up by what I can only describe as; my acid trip manifested. The waves shining through the clouds, giving off and illusion on the sky of paint on a canvas. It is mesmerizing! And only one of an in...
