A mountain of some measure aligned slopes, Silversword's statuesque uncommonness, bikers and skiers, youth urban slang, 'dopes,' pics of height's flowering tower upness. Centuries of swordplay, The Word, acclaimed, plowshares and the sorts treats its new version. Purplish flowers are structurally framed, like a cross handle, silver hairs orphan. Majestic still today, handle to point, Jehovah's watchtower, grand edifice leans to age and weather. Volcano joint Maui's 'House of the Sun' sole home exists. Another species bides the intellects, nature goes on living with the ... neglects.

Oh wow, another saga with the 'Songs of Flora'.. This is absolutely amazing, dear William! I think these songs should be compiled together as they read like a poetic tale, making me feel as if I'm turning the pages of a beautiful book.. This one is so creative with how you've described that nature keeps showing its miracles, even away from human eyes, as every element is a wonder! "Another species bides the intellects, nature goes on living with the ... neglects" Love the descriptions here..

You grace your aura once again, Hiya, and as always I am inspired by your innate intricacies that are defining qualities of your nature. Your parents and family must be endearing souls and proud to have that aura that precedes you to have been shared with them. Thank you once again, my friend. Aloha, William
