Borealis @1972.
It came to us.
Late August.
Georgian Bay.
Cottage and camping mecca.
Very tired but
Stretched out on the Rock.
Five of us.
Not wanting sleep.
The green, the violet
The yellow and pastel crimson.
Way overhead.
Now dancing, now shifting.
Now exploding
Or curtain-like.
The Creator simply
Dabbling with his brush.
And just for us.
Yeah, just for us.
