There goes the lines drawn

Between colour before stars

Mushrooms lay in wait

While the clouds swim by

Colours hidden behind grey

Fading when dark comes

A/N: Those colours in the sky creeped upon us. We watched it fade too. Somewhere around here we saw the mushrooms and in our excitement we took some photos. I would’ve loved if you all were there, the golf course is big enough for all of us. Although this was short, I do appreciate it so much if you got this far πŸ™β™₯️
