Remote land summon an aloof tempest, Bursting lights glint inquietude offshore, Edged mists intimate like an apprentice, Intrigue asserts the clouded to explore. Inland heating like a warming welcome, Landlubbers likely combative response, Unveiled inherent instincts that seldom, Aid dominions that are so nonchalance. Newt eyes nictating atop curling waves, A plucked forest acts as a casting wand, Amplifying teens conjure inward braves, Spirits arising maintaining the spawned. Imaged enthralled hazes flit Noah's ark, Sweeper-swept palls purify rainbow arc.
