does it sound okay to say "lingering on the horizon" meaning "looming ahead" (slrpnk.net)

Long-time English speaker here (and trying to learn another language)... In general it sounds good, but be aware of your context. It's a more interesting way to say the same thing, but would give pause to listeners. This would be good in general conversation but if trying to quickly make a point "looming ahead" would be faster. HTH.
