Night sky

of thunder filled the atmosphere with rage. Fog spurred over the plains. The landscape ahead invisible to the naked eye. The sky was engulfed with hopes and prayers of the soldiers that inhabited the wasteland below. Rain fell like pellets soaking everything it could reach. My clothes hung limply off my body, dripping with the water that was flowing from the grey stained sky. The mud that was once hard turned into slush in seconds and splashed everything as I attempted to navigate my way through…

Bright blue orbs looked up at the night sky, wonder filling every drop of them. A girl with tear stained cheeks yet a smile on her face. White clouds floated by. A white moon shinning ever so brightly. It was as quiet as could be, and the girl had all of this to herself. How lucky she is to be alive. She completely forgot about the reason she was sitting at the edge of the cliff. She just forgot everything and looked up at the sky. There were what seemed to be millions of stars staring back at…

The river constantly circulates, causing fury in the water that only He can calm. Water, a loving and all-knowing presence that is not shaken by the storms of life. Gray skies circle the sandy beach. The gray color is angry, infuriated, anxious for what is to come. But the blazing orange and red horizon captures the gray skies and turns them into something truly beautiful. A breathtaking sunset frames the ocean, praising Him with it's spectacular colors and swirls. The bright sun comes up…

“Okay, two things.” My sister Sara says. “One, they’re not real. That photograph was obviously forged. Two, even if they did exist, they are not beautiful. My ancient mythology teacher said that people believe they were giant balls of fire in the sky that would burn things down on Earth.” “They were what gave it light!” I say, exasperated. My sister sighs. “Lea, the light comes from our moons. Stars do not exist.” I open my mouth to say something, but I know that no matter what I say, my…

Instead, as a gift to both his sister and Delilah, Apollo created floating orbs that were much like tiny suns and put them in the night sky. He called them stars, and the would be used to light up the night sky along with moon. He used these stars to create images to talk to the maiden wherever she had been sent to. Delilah, far off from Greece, would look to the sky every night, a smile on her face as she saw these images. Even if she could not truly be with the god, it was enough that she…

White, cotton candy like clouds across the blue green sky; the fading moon sits redundantly behind them. The sun has awakened and is quickly emerging through the foggy sky. The clouds creates a pleasant shade from the sun. Birds simultaneously tweet out to each other in a chorus, singing a soothing, beautiful tune. A graceful cock remind us that the day has just started with his song and a flock of pigeon flies swiftly across the open pasture, flowing beside the gentle breeze, back to…

The lowering sun upon the horizon darkened the sky in various hues of purple and blue with tints of pink fading as the stars appeared in the sky. The rocky terrain of the mountains stretched above them making the perfect view for the near night sky. Setting down her tools for the night, Chantel dusted off the mounts of dirt sticking on her clothes and gingerly wrapped up the bones and fossils. "It looks like we got quite a prize today." She called, being surrounded by her group of smaller…
