Luminous Spontaneous Poetry - inspired by the image below...
...
Lights in the Night
None knew what to make of them
They were brimming with sparkling energy
Shimmering with a glow unholy
Crying out for our attention
Puzzlement and enlightenment being their contention
Potent yet translucent
They hovered for a time above the firmament
Until time came, to all's amazement
To call it a night - with eerie contentment!
Thus ended the night of the lights
And no one ever knew what they truly were
Ghastly harbingers
of another time or another place
Or simple last throes of a dying earth
unexpected aurora borealis
unpredictable sudden bliss
Or perhaps, simpler still
our heavenly observers
come to rend us asunder...
