in performance
whether I stay or leave -
the northern lights

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.

A realistic crispness ... I like your choice of words here. Your meaningful feedback is always a delight and I'm never disappointed.
