It's yon past tense turbulence beguiling present tense nerves untried bewitching peaks speaks fake indifference are cramming an elephant of ivory guilt ... who is unrepentant an unlike splattering as a link-swelled be it so touching in fleets of passing that hopes to be fed a swell thoroughbred their ravenous bird named, Molly. Sporadic occasions altered a heralded cast that mock pinkish-orange corralled caresses of their retired sworn arena then fledgling they were, until their dominance ... and ultimate end toward idle silt absolution. Extants stumped atop storied stony ledges descendent overseers that anoint a seafloors, unfinished acquaintances as they joined the assemblage featured aquatic leftover remnants of their scattered remains, hence ... the unchallenged coral rises as a purposed edifice earmark o'er its domain ... until it takes the shades like that of an ivory tower honors the beginning of its end. Edging inland some have surfaced and has mutually coinhabited with the adjoining ground solidified soil like barbs as they claimed the enriched and the gratuitous unstable ogles every which way --not quite. Offshoots of grassy roots pocket the shoreline like mini oasis a generous scattering though an honorable trade for the clumping, there emboldens the grounds to the hold of it and thereby ensures the grasses' integrity and of its longevity. An image appears amidst nothingness a novel face defines wonder as waters astir to a presence immersed yet a stare sways to a glimpse. Constant sounds yon massivity wavers to an echoed void.
