Gold Series: Longing

I run my fingers through the wind-tangled mess of my golden hair, each strand catching the fading light like a tiny beacon. It whips around my face, carrying a salty tang that speaks of the ocean, and ignites a longing in my chest that aches like a forgotten melody. The vast expanse of water stretches before me, an endless golden canvas whispering secrets of faraway lands and adventures yet to be had.
