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

Light can smother doubts..which tend to be on the darker side…. Lovely images of the stillness of the lake and how this moment brought you back to these doubts… very interesting write dear Chris, love the words and the rhyme…
Warmly, B🌷

Such wonderful sweet poem!!! I love poems that talk about light... lakes! Beautifully done dearest Chris:-)))

"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
