He had journeyed many miles to reach the spot. The spot which locals revered as the place where the sky met the land. Even the swamp breathed an aura of mysticism and his eyes couldn’t quite trace the spot where it ended and the sky began.
Wading past the trees that hindered his view, he was lost in an immense aurora. As he drank in the sky spectacle, his eyes widened. What was this – a hole in the sky?
He strode confidently in, he-the-forgotten, stepping bravely into the unknown.

Dear Lavanya,
Imaginative piece that left me wondering what he’ll find on the other side. Nicely done.
Shalom,

Thanks Rochelle – I look at it as a aphorism for everything in life that we are scared to peek through.

Sometimes it’s only the forgotten one who jumps into the unknown. I hope it’s good on the other side though or may be not.

Fun fact: I once was driving through a rainstorm out on I5 in California and actually saw the end of the rainbow on the ground. Lousy leprechauns must have made off with all the gold, though.
