Aurora Interiora

A spiritual poem, loosely inspired by the aurora phenomenon.

mysterious indigo

waves sweep across nightly

riverscapes, enveloped then

by clover flames...

glimmering violet towers

stand over me, leaving me

wordless, in the midst of 

golden poltergeist winds...

who created this incandescent

umbra, the dazzling inner

sky thunder? I cannot

speak the purple breaths

in proper cadence, for to

try to do so would fall short

of the telepathic beauty

dancing

within

me.

As someone who is fascinated by the aurora borealis, I loved reading this poem.

The world was supposedly started by the "big bang" theory which states that everything in the universe was created by dust. Your reference to this "telepathic beauty" dancing within you reminds me of the "big bang" theory.

Once again, beautiful work xx

Oh, awesome!! Thank you so much, Cascara! I suppose the "telepathic beauty" and the big bang do coincide with one another, in a sense. I just find the universe so fascinating, in general. The other thing that partially inspired this was my experience of inner peace through a practice that I do called Knowledge. It's something I don't always talk about, but it is a beautiful experience, and has inspired a lot of my writing.

my pleasure.

I wasn't sure if this was a piece about experiencing "colours" during your brain tumour, or if it was about enjoying the beauty of the inside of your own mind. Either way, its imagery is rich and enjoyable. I have experienced these "colours" in a few circumstances -- the P.G. ones would be during meditation. I enjoyed this write.

Thank you KL!!! This poem is about several different things, actually. The initial inspiration was a video of the Aurora Borealis that I watched. But then, I started to think about enjoying the beauty inside oneself (mind, spirit, etc.)...I've also experienced them during meditation, and as you said, that's the P.G. version! I'm not sure if the tumor ever produced things like this, but I had some strange experiences with that, I can say that much!

Thanks, I Have a Voice. And you're welcome...I always enjoy sharing poetry here. Great that we can pour out our feelings here, right? I've gotten much better feedback here than I would expect to on say, YouTube. :-)

LOOOVE it. Use of words here are brilliant. And I wish I had thought of a title like this for a future piece. :o)

[Eric Pudalov]

Thanks Rose!!! Initially, I was going to call it "Aurora Borealis," but then because it's kind of a spiritually-inspired poem, I decided on "Aurora Interiora." Good ol' Latin, right?

[BlackRose]

LOOVE it this way, It's cooler and more outside the box, less cliche of words. Good ol' latin is right, ha. You're so very welcome. :o)
