Atop the lake today splayed a dancing
Net of flickering sparkly bright gems, the sun
And breeze playing duet, I stood entranced
As water teemed alive. Light, having fun
With liquid glass, created diamond gleams.
Amid such jiving mass, with frenetic
Performance this dance was supreme, in themed
Revue, with jewel-studded cast. Stars let
Loose brilliant glitter in the fastest fling.
With million winking movements quick silver
Flashed with gold, and for a while the zinging
Air went wild around this speed-display, willed
By cosmic joy. Then breezes died, the sun
Went into hiding, and the dance was done.
An exquisite piece Fay....your choice of words and imagery are amazing. The last two lines I agree with everyone are just brilliant. this is one of my favourites 10+++
