Done for Recuerda Mi Corazon and also for Carpe Diem Haiku Shuukan prompt, Festival.
The Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights have had a number of names throughout history. The Cree call this phenomenon the “Dance of the Spirits”.
Festival
ribbon of colours
streaks across the endless sky
dance of the spirits
I appreciate your patience with me as I catch up on your blogs. Thanks a million! Shalom
Reading Pleasure 
Ribbons of colour. Reminds me of a song. Lovely.
Thank you Kiru. It’s always good to see you here 🙂
If I ever get to see the lights I’ll remember your haiku!
Ow, thanks. You will, inshallah!
What a beautiful image you conjure with your dancing haiku!
Ow, thanks Lea 🙂
i have only seen these once as a wee girl, or was it a dream?
I’m sure not, Lenorita. Yesterday on the way home from work ( around 7.00 pm) I saw a shooting star, though I don’t recall ever seeing an Aurora Borealis. The kids were so excited. 🙂
I think I could use a little spirit dance to lift my spirits! 😉
I’ll gladly dance with you! 🙂
I love this haiku. My mind envisions a painting. Spiritual.
Thank you Judie. Yes, it’s quite spiritual now that I think of it 🙂
Lovely…
Thank you, Jules!
I am going to try and catch up on house, yard work and visits – this week has been filled with ‘grandchildren’ 🙂
WOW! Celestine this is a wonderful haiku … so full coloured and sensative in it’s beauty. I love to use this haiku for our Tan Renga Challenge episode of 30th May if that’s oke?
Oh Kristjaan! What a lovely honour. You should see me now, broad smiles on my face. YES! Please go ahead. I have no objection. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! 🙂
I am glad that you grant me permission to use this beautiful haiku.
I like that name “Dance of the Spirits”
Thanks Al 🙂
You’re welcome 🙂
We have seen the Northern lights as far south as Arizona. They are spiritual.
Lucky you, Gemma. 🙂

I love the idea of the spirits dancing in the sky! I’ve only seen this phenomenon once in my life. Amazing!
Lucky you Wabi. Never seen the Aurora Borealis; only a shooting star. 🙂
I’ve seen the Northern Lights twice in my life, both in unlikely places: Kansas and Pennsylvania. Unforgettable dance!
Thanks MMT. Yet to witness this spectacular phenomenon.

‘Dance of the Spirits’, I love that a unique way of looking at such a divine light show, I will keep that in mind whenever people refer to them, although I would love to go see them one day.
