Turbulence.
Shallow drapes of soft-lit cirrus
billowed and barred like wind in silk hems
vertically swaying.
Glimpses of cracks in blackness
grew into Gods dancing at whim with satin
streamers waving.
The greenish-white curves
in pre-dawn sky were at once unnerving
and yet exciting.
Northern Lights in a modest
display made the heart leap when lit darts
cue to start colliding.
Firmament turbulence produces
flourescence which leaves viewers gasping
with plans to come back
again and again
and
again.
