We've made a lot of promises. I suspect we've kept many secrets.
I can't say I can really see an albino giraffe standing far away off in the Snowy field's corner though sensing its presence reassures me.

Wise. It's better for them to feel okay with their bouffant sallies and
Leopard collars. You know trees move. Entire forests decamp for
Other regions on a regular basis. This has long been standard practice.
I'm a little heartsick in bluish twilight. However, soon I'll raise
A banner of hope which will hearten the darkest fireless evening.

Had promised to love you forever.
