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
