A Deceptive Choice

From a distance we can choose the particulars,
Next the change/
A pause of simple regret,
The novice in his high profile excerpt,

Relax and then,
A pause to complete the smile;
Still he knows all the while'
A pen with paper;

The chalice dancer and the fashionable decor,
A midas touch onto something more'
The pause that relieves the pain,
In the great distance lest I refrain/

The laughter with the inner turmoil'

The silence of a wakening day/
In the morning we all can honestly think better,

Hi Mario, my contest is for women who are to write a verse as it they were Eve in the garden of Eden. Though your verse is very nice it does not fit the contest requirements. Thank so much for the thought.
