*Image of Morning Rise by Giphy. Spirited Gestures Cast restlessness about the wind, That toss and empty leaves from trees, The autumn season sees them thinned, A tingling sense of breathing squeeze, Be auburn reds hint golden scene, Like royal robes and crowning queen. Genteel polish a crystal shine, Oblige passage involving wake, Luster beckons whispering shrine, A pristine call edges a lake, Mindful ears recognize courses, Coming wafts like thirsty horses. Slight Boreas push chills a bit, Zephyrus cut short, warms again, A tit for tat that never quit, The disturbed rest till strength regain, Nature takes heed and nothing more, Benumbed deep down within its core. Relaxed lay calm felt now surrounds, Idling base fresh breezes fill, Perianths rise and fall on grounds, Prompts unfailing the currents spill, Unseen traces the length of thee, Forces abound heaven's decree. 2022 September 28 *8th Place* A BRIAN STRAND PREMIERE CHOICE ~~Brian Strand: Judged 2022 September 28 *RZ; ababcc, dedeff, ghghii, jkjkll.
