A Bright New Day...Aneurysm.

This day was going to be his last. If he only knew some twilights ago, he would have tried harder to preserve on canvas the moments lavender kissed the evening sky. Next, he would have looked for artistic venues with more intent. What a delight this sudden change of air in him would bring to his family and friends, but he'd have to put off the news until later. An early morning run at the park, free of any encumbrance, his cell phone included, was exactly what he needed to mark this new beginning. His thoughts flitted past his dimming mind as he lay on the track by the river, his bright eyes reflecting the blue expanse above as his heartbeat slowed to a stop.
