Light Bridge Across Floating Clouds

A slender bridge of pure light stretches forward above a drifting sea of clouds, leading the eye upward toward a gentle goal with quiet wonder. The bridge reads like a translucent ribbon with faint ridged texture and soft edges, its surface gleaming like polished glass and fine filaments of luminescence. Clouds sit as soft matte pillows with subtle stratified layers and micro-crease shadows, and thin mist threads lift around the bridge's base to suggest buoyant height. At the horizon a single blooming star unfolds like a pale flower, radiating warm gold into cool blue and lavender air while remaining tender in intensity. Render the scene in a tall 9:16 portrait crop, keeping the bridge centered and vertical so the path occupies the midline and negative space frames ascent. Favor a moderate shallow depth so the bridge and star remain crisply resolved while distant cloud banks blur into soft bands. Light is cool overall with a warm star accent, casting gentle separation and faint rim glow that echoes the palette of soft blue, pale gold, lavender, and pearl. Viewpoint sits just below the bridge's plane to convey forward motion and invitation, with a normal perceived width that feels intimate and upward-looking. Include one small guiding lantern-shaped mote near the bridge as a story cue and keep all other surfaces clean and unlettered. Render in a painterly digital style with delicate brushwork and subtle grain to emphasize atmosphere and tactile luminosity.
