a couple of grandsons and i

drove to the highest point in the city

snuck onto a golf course

at dusk

on a quest to see the aurora

under a crescent moon

star- sprinkled sky

we waited,

and waited,

and waited

and waited

my photo-wise grandie

set up a long exposure shot

 his camera captured the beauty

better than our eyes could

how lucky and lovely 

and

we did not get arrested for trespassing.
