vessel captivates
warm waxing finesse waning                                
more color less stress
glowing going with flowing
lugubrious globular!

vibrant pink guava
incandescent liquid groove~

Congrats on your placement in my contest Anaya. Takes me back to my younger days when lava lamps were all the rage. Every Spencer gift shop carried them in addition to the "smoking" items one could buy
