The sky glows brightly behind the darkened landscape, skyscrapers like monoliths rise up in competition. They reflect back the apricot skies on their shiny exterior, creating a mirage of color. The lush hills fill out the background, vibrant hues of chlorohyll dulled by the waning light. During the day, the sky cannot hold a light to the radiance of the land; a spectrum of colors bursting vividly ...

I waltz through my village’s rolling, lush hills, taking in the views surrounding me. As I continue on the trail that leads to a small, forlorn cottage with iridescent windows reflecting the slick painting of the sunset, I feel the urge deep in my gut to step inside.

I take one step in, and the rusty floorboards squeal under my foot's weight. I push the door further open to a dim setting. The co...

The time was now. The overcast glow beaming from the sun draped over the rich valley gracefully leading to the mountains. Although we were minutes away from entering sundown, the dreamlike veil made it seem like early morning. The towering mountains were quickly changing from saturated and stoic to bright and faded. And just as the different hues of the sun hide away, those same mountains fade int...

The vast sea shined at me as the wind blew and birds chirped, the leaves blowing past me while the sand gets in my shoes....

In western Nevada there is a beautiful desert. Many thing of the desert as a dull brown hellscpae. If you take a moment to look closer you’ll see the desert is a mosaic of hues. Stunning hills cut through the dry, sandy landscape. Different colored rock beds stacked like a dirt-colored cake. Even the fauna are dressed in bright colors. Geckos with scales like the hills of Ireland; birds with feath...

The ether emits a blazing, passionate atmosphere as the warm beams of light disappear behind the skyline, leaving traces of its presence on my once fair skin into a beautiful sun-kissed complexion. The once clear hues of the ocean dim in color. The sand hugs my feet as its warmth escapes it as the last rays set. My body began to shiver as the calm waves reached me; as I distanced myself from the n...

Fire made physical, laid out like a pie-crust and flattened with a wooden rolling pin: that is the color of the sky, stretched wide. Beneath, little floral wreaths dance and twist like children at Christmas, beneath the pointed trees. Looking onwards, one might think the ocean came to land, withering in its waves and shining in tapestries made by Nature’s hand. An oak tree, its trunk resembling a ...

Snow blankets the seemingly endless expanse of snow-covered terrain around the cabin, which was crafted from the towering trees in the midst of a silent forest. The silhouette of mountains in the distance reminds us how small we really are in this extensive world. The lake nearby is frozen by winter’s touch. The morning air is crisp and it prickles on your cheeks. The smell of pine and the remaini...

I look out my window and see a bunch of clouds that look like mounds of whipped cream. I also see the backdrop of the sky which is so clear that it can blind you. I can also hear and see a flock of geese in the sky. I can also feel a soft cool breeze on my skin....

the absence was painted above

dotted with the sparks of love

fresh spring grass that laid below

the ending not existing and untold

drastic moods lit up the sky

quickly before they said goodbye

they described each flash of emotion

and fleeted without a commotion

the hills adorned throughout

with sweet simplistic buds thrown about

matched with the colors displayed above

a mirroring sensation with...
