Arctic Expedition: A Journey to the North Pole

A captivating poem titled "Borealis" has recently been shared on Twitter by the account @TopTweetTuesday. The poem, penned by BeeRummie, paints a vivid picture of celestial beauty and intrigue.

The poem begins with celestial echoes, a metaphorical sound that seems to resonate from the heavens. The Borealis, the mesmerising Northern Lights, are referenced, their colours swirling in a dance of light.

Angels are watchful spectators in this celestial ballet, their presence hinted at as they listen to entreaties from below. The poem takes a turn as it mentions tenebrous prayers, a sombre yet poignant allusion to the human condition.

The poem's focus then shifts to the Northern Lights themselves, described as shards of light draped in languorous obsidian dreams. These shards are not just any ordinary lights; they are pearlescent, their ethereal glow adding an extra dimension of beauty to the night sky.

An electric hue is also mentioned, perhaps a reference to the vibrant colours that often characterise the Northern Lights. The poem concludes with a reference to technicolour dreams, a fitting end to this celestial journey.

The poem, shared on social-media platform Twitter, has been praised for its intriguing depiction of the Northern Lights, dubbed as 'Borealis'. In the poem, these celestial lights are described as pearlescent shards and technicolour dreams, a fitting tribute to the books on the beauty of the night sky.
