to use synonyms of the given words:
light - glare shine radiance gleam
man -  dude gentleman
handle - grip designation moniker
bag - grapple pouch
wind - breeze tempest gale waft

the glare gave it a good shine
a radiance that gleamed of hope
the dude a gentleman refined
extending a grip within the scope

that of an accepted designation
a moniker enough to grapple
with a derogatory reference
of an uncomplimentary pouch

managing to breeze through
a contemptuous tempest of a gale
which was reduced to just a waft
given his personality that prevailed

  6. I guess there is a lot to be said for being personable or charismatic.

    I am always searching for a gleam of hope, does it still exist Hank?
