Please limit your response to 500 words or fewer.



Are there sweets and goods and smiles?
Be there treats to have worthwhile?
Can you see the orange sea?
Do you feel the need to be?

Every sunset has a song
For the ones that don't belong.
Greatful to the Gods above;
Happiness with my true love.

I am free as winds can howl
Just as hooting little owls
Keep the night under wing -
Lonely souls that sweetly sing.

My one and only does arise
Never blinking, no surprise.
Over hills and mountains - crash!
Pending doom; We turn to ash!

Quit the jokes, this is real!
Ropes and traps, even...banana peels?
So they've tried to catch us again.
Those silly theives; those foolish crooks!

Up and about, we'll leave again,
Voicing our dreams every now and then,
Waiting for water to part once more;
Xuthus will watch every single shore.

Yelling out life as we turn into dreams,
Zodiac signs are all I have seen.
