In rocoroyal the flashblue fluger

Blazing with hues of promises
Erasing the melancholy,
Voices alive with laughter
Smiles...

Mount Edgecumbe's FeetIn Alaska, at Mount Edgecumbe's feet,
fish built Sitka, a city with no road.
And so, Sitka's fame is its fishing fleet;
where time is never spent; it is borrowed.

dreamcatcher swaying in the breeze
my thoughts out of the window
lost in the air
wishing they reached your doorstep
