Aurora Australis


I saw the Southern Lights once
as I was travelling to the Bluff

I wasn’t driving so I had time
to feed my eyes.

Far across the Canterbury Plains
on its western horizon -

pulsating, constantly moving
ever changing glowing fantastic
light show mesmerised and hypnotised

and I thought, people should see
this phenomena for themselves

not on the documentary channel;
not on the internet, or in
National Geographic

but for real – with their own eyes
at least once….changes perception.

Really does.

  1. I have not seen the Southern Lights, Wanda but I have seen the Northern Lights once and my reaction was the same as yours!
