Yes, floots, all that stuff and, as Melanie points out, the neighbor's porch light. Just a moment when I can't identify the source of light, but I know I'm not in the dark.
The greatness of a poem can stem fromwhen more weaving more than one layer of metaphore.That's why i see this haiku as a master piece. It gave me room for pondering by its ambiguity, so it supplied poetic enjoyment for me. The familiar light is missing, so where has it come from..? I consider it the INNER LIGHT, which may induce a humanbeing to go on, never to freeze in his-her place whever darkness(problems) prevail.
