Aurora

By Keya Pothen

You’re the aurora lights to my darkness, 

The magic phenomenon I never thought I’d see.

A once-in-a-lifetime experience, 

Meant to forever be.

And while you do your soul searching, 

I wait patiently. 

Patience isn’t my strength 

But for you, I’ll make it be 

You’re the first sunrise on a magic day,

The butterflies in the air. 

The smell of sweet jasmine, 

The flowers in my hair.

I know it’ll take some time, 

For you to realise.

I’ll sit here waiting patiently, 

For the day, I can call you mine.
