OCTOBER WITH EFFULGENT LIGHT

So brightly lit, my birthday cake. Such icing-on-dessert uptake. My Autumn years illumined flight, October with effulgent light. Candy corn, shaped like fangs, I eat. Orange-yellow, Brach’s honey-sweet. Smiles, blinking pumpkin, in the night. October with effulgent light. The crisp and thrash, of pretty leaves. The grandkids’ beat; my heart receives. Plenipotent sound of the night - October with effulgent light. The cold, fresh air and bonfire smoke; The colorful lanterns and folk. Big, bright and red - the Hunter’s moon. October with effulgent light.

Thank you! My birthday was on the now infamous October 7th. I was in church all day with my friend at a woman’s conference. I had a curious vision before learning of what happened. Wow! Thank you so much!

As with your other works, this Kyrielle is very powerful too. The refrain, "October with effulgent light", is beautiful. Congratulations!
