    Those Northern Lights are something to behold. Not much to see in the Deep South maybe only a little. Beautiful haiku/sky-hu.

    The bright-colored light in the night feels like a magical dance of stars. ✨ This scene is as wondrous as a dream, where every color spreads its glow, immersing the darkness in bliss. It’s a fusion of serenity and joy, beyond words, making this moment eternal. 🌌
