She gazed toward the marsh that grew thicker, deeper, greener with approaching summer. mosquitoes whined in there, breeding in the dark water. alligators slid through it, silent death. it was a place where snakes could slither and bogs could suck the shoe right off your foot. and it was a place, she thought, that went bright and beautiful with the twinkling of fireflies, where wildflowers thrived in the shade and the stingy light. where an eagle could soar like a king. there was no beauty without risk. no life without it.
Beautiful Summer Kings
