Russet Red Vision At the Edge of the Green Creek

Scabbard symbol enchanted flowers opal potion milky skin Gold-embroidered purple robe , green eyes flashing stars. Beautiful faintly beeswax smell in village meadow chamber Horse's necklace "clack! clack! clack" sleek coat bobbed tail. Velvet lined rose queen , green tree snake salty evening air Tea tree branch , topiary mazes , old Kingdom noonday sun. Fresh dawn , wood ash , surrounding woods, veil of mist Twisting and turning , sliding and re-arranging themselves slender fingers pulled the needle back and forth on the loom Nuzzling against his face an eager lip/nostril whiffling noise Ice crystals etched along its blade felt the glow of his spirit took a deep breath voice tiny siver bell with a high sweet note. Brightly wrapped box he suddenly smiled a number of times Wispy tendrils of red curls straggled free of their satin ribbon She paused to feed a thread of scarlet into the pattern of blue. They continued up the hill , beyond the ridge they saw the King riding , his amber-coloured stallion charged ahead of his men at the edge of the creek , green with ferns and rich moist moss.
