Aurora Borealis

When I arrived here in my youth
In search of truth and mystery
And everything in front of me
Lit my imagination on fire
Aurora borealis in flames around me
Aurora borealis ruled the day
Ever since another downer
Another downer every day
Another cloud obscures the sky
So blue one moment now so gray
I watch the charlatans’ sleek revue
The loud, the brash, the arrogant
All the peacocks have their say
All the color melting now
Aurora borealis fades away
