Northern Lights

Sometimes life feels isolating

And I can feel frozen in time

So decide to build an igloo

In my arctic mind

It can feel endless and as quiet

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock

But sometimes it is nice peek out

& see the northern lights

Suddenly forgetting about all the self-doubt

Even if winters can seem extra

Long when seasons are supposed to change

But I stay inside my thoughts

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock

Where's the clock?

There is still nature to gawk at

When things seem like they will not end

It's a sign from somewhere or someone

Just trying to pass along and send

Don't freeze to death I say to myself

Get smart don't get stuck on that

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock,

Sit over there by the rock

See? There's a fire ready and made.

And above there's still much more

To experience in the sky

Those northern lights

Can always stay inside

Even when things get tough

& Hope is hard to find
