Still as children asking why
adults gaze upon the sky.
Still as children, grownups seek
reason for the comet's streak.
Still to sages, baffling are
sun and planet, moon and star.
On a garden's tiny space
miracles are taking place.
And as children, age explores
God's bewildering out-of-doors.
Questioning, till the day they die,
Life's great mystery -- how and why?
The mysterious Northern Lights have inspired many legends.
