Autumnal Grace

potpourri of wreaths splatter night rhinestones with aisles of gold cashmere talc, stairways of herons ascend * sky flooding autumn light bulbs heaven drips of earth's elegance, drops of fern boughs collect hands calmly chiming psalms of fall's remains * a mantle bathed by wet stars (c)Contest of Brian Strand
