Correct! Sharp eye there!

field of green streams of blue isthmus be love isle of ewe hazy sky a cluttered mind naked sun beneath the pine chemical high sweet and low worlds between us wouldn't you know closing the gap scaling the wall over the rainbow having a ball a permanent fixture I fix my gaze the straight and narrow ce...

A keeper.

Thanks, Dutchman!
