shot of the night 9/16/25

from out here in the woods,

the auroras are breathtaking

as they shimmer and dance

over the silent, stately pines.

heaven seems so close.

when heaven can’t wait (tanka)

don’t put off the things

that you want to do in life

until the end nears,

for heaven may be closer

than it presently appears

–photo by me

heaven is a place

of earthly greens and blues–

a beach without a trace

of the latest breaking news,

for in their frantic pace

of opinionated views,

it seems the human race

has forgotten greens and blues
