Love bloomed on the horizon, where the Sky meets the Sea. He’d gaze down at her and admire her strength, watching as his smile filled her with warmth and his tears filled her with sorrow. She’d laugh for hours about their matching outfits – how he’d go out his way to always wear the same colours as her – while he’d spend the evenings making her blush a crimson red: a couple with eternity stretched before them. However, it was night that was the Sea’s favourite, when she’d be blanketed in a canvas of stars, and could finally admire the Sky’s beauty.
Yet, one thing about time is that it’s unpredictable. As the years passed, the Sky watched his beloved fall sick. Her smile became feeble and forced and her movements became slower. The Sea was filled with poison that seeped through her waters; junk and disease slowly killing the life inside of her. The Sky continued to smile down at her, reaching out to shelter her with warmth. However, his touch burnt through her, melting the ice that was supposed to keep her cool and bleaching her corals white. He was helpless, left with nothing but rage- rage that thundered in clouds and blazed through fields. Death gloomed on the horizon.
I might be biased as Rosie’s mother but this is absolutely awesome. So powerful.
So meaningful, loved it!
Wow Rosie – So beautifully written!
