They’re about to say 'I do.'
Three little letters, two little words.
Three little letters, two little words.
It’s the simplest part of the day. But there’s nothing simple about the things that will remain unsaid.
'I do' means I do know I could be hurt, but I’m ready to be healed with you.
It means I do want to try even when the fear of failure holds me back.
And I do not know the future, but I’m ready to be surprised along the way.
And 'I do' means, I do want your love and I do give you mine, and nothing we do will ever be the same because you and I will be doing it all together.
(S3:E12)
~The Perriwood prophecy written by Cotton Perriwood
In the hall of sustenance found,
the Halloween faces stare up from the ground.
While others pass to get their sleep,
Within the fount the creatures leap.
Behold the rare foreboding sight,
The chilling horde that soars by night.
Friendships will be tested and we'll all be thrust into darkness,
and love will struggle to survive.
They stumble where the pumpkins set,
and purchase not their fair regrets.
And the winds of change shall blow that night.
Form the healers hands, all hope will be brought,
As this intertwined, all secrets be taught.
And in that year the people shall come together like never before.
The gentle server will sit down with she who sells fragrant beauty and differences will be forgotten, fading into the light of day.
The hands of the healer and the hostess shall forever be entwined.
And the Halloween spirit will last long after the last candle has burned so bright filling the town with all that is beautiful, all that is true and all that is good.
