October Sky

I can’t believe that it’s Tuesday already, well I can, the days are just flying by now. I go outside and all the grass is getting green and the apple trees are in green tip stage.

Spring is so mesmerizing, so open your eyes go outside and do things, enjoy the beauty and thank God for the days you are given. I’m not here to talk about the seasons tonight though. Tonight I just want to take some…

Daughter to the Sky A non-fiction essay as lived by Cinnamon Spear I was born a daughter to the sky. Vast expanses overhead have become my breath. My family and I would sit amongst prairie hills studded with pine trees, consuming countless sunsets. You could see for miles and miles. The sky would flow from a crisp blue to a subtler shade of purple. Passionate pinks and oranges would come just out of that finally resting upon a vibrant yellow source. I caught myself thinking once, “This…

As the sky darkened, the murky clouds rapidly rolled in and it was clear my family and I as well as the other visitors would soon be stranded on the island. The thunder, lightning, and heavy rain was swiftly moving towards shore and the island’s visitors were hastily running for shelter.

My Magnificent Experience in Nature Imagine a sunlit sea, the deepest blue the eyes can see. The waves are forming and crashing with grace and the sharp smell of salt lingers in the air. In the distance, birds mimic the sounds of boats passing. I had always felt a mutual appreciation with the sea, it was as though we both enjoyed eachothers company. In that moment as the sun lingered above, every ripple the tide brought in and every breeze from the surface felt harmonious. I’ve had many…

That was a mistake. After I walked for about twenty minutes, I realized that I got lost in the jungle. There was nobody, but only trees and mosquitos around me. I could not even see the sky. I was so afraid because although I walked for a while, I felt like I came back to the same place where I started. The trail that I thought I was following disappeared, and I only could see vines in front of me. I knew the jungle was small, and there…

Bright and warm, the setting sun lit up the romance between the couple. Hand in hand, they walk the edge of the beach, barefoot. Her white sheer knee length dress waved in the wind, tinting orange and red from the sunset. They smell the salty aroma from the clear blue waves that slowly push onto the beach. “Ohh! Look!” He said as he ran a few feet in front of his longtime girlfriend. “What?” She called as she ran towards him. “A seashell.” He smiled as he gingerly placed in her hand. She looked…

If you were to look in my room you’ll probably see a mess clothes all over the floor, papers on my bed, and tennis balls on my desk, you could say that I’m not the most organized person in the world. But upon looking at all that mess, there is a picture hanging on just one nail, collecting dust as if it was some kind of ancient artifact.
