In Performance --- Haiku

in performance
whether I stay or leave -
the northern lights



NOTE: I didn't make it in time for the contest, but I wanted to write it nonetheless.

Your words took stage and treated the reader to a glimpse of your imagination. It flows like the currents of life, with a realistic crispness. Emile.
