A spark of light
Smiles and well wishes in the heart’s delight
A table re-arranged
To the clings of dishes in exchange
A candle lit
Love and tablecloths together knit
Never did the grand drown in pickets of a frown
Even when thereafter, the voices shush down
Later, seconds spent in appreciation
Seconds smiling at the feeling born in the imagination
