P rominent sister cluster

L aunched by cosmic Creator

E ngage celestial song

I n irrepressible praise

A bove benighted planet

D iamonds on black satin

E ver refract God’s glory

S even: sweet sum of wholeness

Jeweled november morning

presents her fragile gifts

wrapped in brittle air

 

crisp cookie cut-outs of fallen

gingerbread leaves, sprinkled

with sparkling sugar crystals

 

frosty gems encrust cold

rim of now abandoned birdbath,

an over-sized salted goblet

 

dead lawn glitters a thousand

clear white diamonds, reflecting

frigid rays of sharp sunlight

 

piercing tender ears of chilled clouds.

Mixing metaphors here…like a november morning mixes beauty and severity.
