Awestruck by the Aurora

It is believed that experiencing awe makes you

More peaceful, happier, more grateful too

It sounds a bit ridiculous to talk about

Being awestruck, it’s the stuff of dreamers, no doubt

Not for people who are practical, who live in reality

The experience of awe seems quite otherworldly..

Awe is not something I had felt much at all

Apart from a few times during travel that I could recall

But this year has so far bestowed upon many including me

More than one opportunity to be

Awestruck at incredible spectacles of the universe within a short span

We’ve directed our gaze upwards, like the earliest of men

Marveled at the spectacular cosmic dance

Grateful to have received a chance

To see the extraordinary in our daily lives

Filling us with emotions difficult to describe..

*

In a world where natural disasters increasingly make news

It is exhilarating to see these breathtaking views

To experience a sense of awe, feel a burst of positive energy

The solar eclipse and the Aurora Borealis have thus captivated me…
