Only Aurora Knows

 The world stopped,

while gaining momentum,

stars crashed into the earth for me.


I saw so much more than black,

I saw stars of each color.


My awareness was amethyst 

in an array of ways,

gorgeous, you could say. 


I wish I saw myself this way.


Enamored by Aurora's 

earthly nightlight,

I wonder if I could be her light.


Could I be capable of lighting

the room I walk in?


Could I be a purple glow 

to catch your eye?
