haiku 0083

I had Fálki's "northern lights" prompt in my mind as I wrote this haiku, the prompt she posted at her Mighty Networks group. In this case, unlike the case of haiku 0084, I stuck with my usual way of using the prompt simply as inspiration, and "northern lights" reminded me of light dancing across the sky, which reminded me of the stark contrast between a dancing light and darkness, which -- at least in my mind -- became a metaphor for life and death.
