Orange



Orange



I remember looking up and seeing the sun split the sky,

Taking away every ounce of darkness and leaving a brilliant orange behind.

An orange so bright, so beautiful that it hurt my eyes.

As I watched it, it shifted and changed so slowly, so dramatically.

Taking on every possible shape but remaining shapeless at the same time.

Seeming so close to me but completely out of my reach.

I blinked and that magical moment disappeared but was never erased from my memory.

That image will forever be with me, because it was as beautiful as my most precious dream coming true.
