Autumn Cleanse
a hodgepodge of color crazy quilted through blocked evergreens embroidered branches stitched with multi-colored threads strip away sharp, icy rains of yesterday’s sunbaked blossoms moldy moss clings to bark like trophies never to be forgotten carpeted mountains piece a new path distant memories wrinkles of time make room for a new tomorrow
