Savoir Faire

the sun on lakeside water
gleams on surface glass
you can not fail to notice
that light can smother dark
it sparkles and it spangles
and here is where i’ll stay
till every drop of golden
has rinsed all doubts away

"let there be light" wonderfully illuminating. light certainly does change things. doubts do draw the blinds on possibilities. nicely said.

Speaking correctly in Social situations… is a talent to acquire… reminds me of an Ice dancer and an orchestrated 🎶 Song. softly, Pat
