Aurora

by Darna Bazzica

 In the cold night air
 I dance in her breath
 beaming glory
  
 I move like serpent knowing
 The line thrumming
 Slow motion sap drops
 and the babes walk
  the woods
  
 ocean to city
 a barefoot dusting
 and we kick
 to our hearts    ever knowing 

Aurora was written at ‘Aurora Festival’ in 2019 where we dance to soothe the soul and connect back to the earth and ourselves.
