Day 29:
Mourning
Blue morn.
Boots squeak through dunes.
Puff out phantasmic plumes.
Jewels shimmer in dawn dipped tree tips.
Nya:weh.

This was nice one to write. It's basically what I experienced outside this morning. I felt like that soft, cold, pre-sunrise blue. I turned around and behind me the tips of the trees were sparking in the warm, direct light of the sun that I was still too short to see.
