The still of the morning, the color of the night

[starlinsey]

I went outside at 5:10am this morning.

And it was soooooo beautiful.

There is something about the night sky just before dawn... it's still dark, but the earth knows the morning is coming, and all of the world draws in a deep breath and holds...

and everything is still and peaceful and cool and calm

ethereal

I remember feeling beautiful in the breath between night and morning

And today, my heart ached to be slender and light, so that I wouldn't be a lumbering  trespasser

to the still of the morning
                     or the color of the night.
