Walking through a cool mountain sunset, the sky resembles a perfect aquamarine. Brilliant, vibrant blues and greens balanced perfectly, creating a canvas that would make emeralds underrated cousin envious. There are a few fluffy interlopers. Thin violet visitors providing a lovely splash of complimentary color. Amethyst scattered over a gemstone sky.
I have spent decades staring up at these mountain skies. They served as a backdrop for many quests to wrangle the largest lizard or most fearsome crawdad the world has ever known. The skies have also been a canvas where a heart painted love, future, and hope in broad flowing strokes. Never before have I seen a sky of aquamarine.
As my journey continued west, the horizon slips into view. A soft beautiful future with a gentle soft green hue. A future me. A future you. A new adventure, just beyond the next rise, awaiting a dreamers brown eyes. |
