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

There are times when nature holds us captivated enough to stay and watch as long as we can.
Nice one, Chris. :)

Thank you Tim. Yes you can lose yourself in nature. Can be such a soother and a healer. Nothing like sunlight on your face to lighten the mood. Hope you are ok.

The best tonic is to sit quietly with mother nature, her healing powers excel everything else and she brings light even to the darkest places sometimes..especially when it is mirrored on a an already beautiful lake..

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Stella. You are so right, Mother Nature the healer. The sun just needs to shine though. Another sunless day here. Yesterday was awful. Have a good one today.

Good morning Chris, yes a dull day here so far but the garden seems to have enjoyed yesterday's rain.
Have a good one yourself, it may brighten up later :)

The speaker seems to be dealing with some problem by immersion in nature. I fully agree that light can smother dark, and so this is an effective way to chase the blues. Doesn't hurt to have a little medication on hand, though.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you John. The natural world is a great healer. The meds can get you hooked. You don’t need meds for the blues, you need light:)

And this poem rinsed away the hustle and bustle of my day. You show beautifully how to welcome the blessings by appreciating the presence of nature that is taken for granted otherwise.
