crystal lake golden gate—brisk—beigepinkbrown;

dusky—dreamy, static—steamy,

a manandwoman speaking vows.

hope by heart, grief by joy

then in now, girl in boy

in time(less)ness we here not never

one become be alwaysforever.

tideful turning earthy sound,

lashes, lips

bound by crowns.

moonlicious crispy slated skies

winekiss (tastethis) laughsand sighs.

three for luck, two little girls,

leaves to years to eyes unfurls.

they get their needs to give their haves,

move their dreams, sing their glads.

seeds sown—upgrow(n)
