It was a quiet, dank and dark, mist
filled swamp that consisted of raw
minerals that appeared to be more
sludge than swamp with no life apart
from little spurts of green that flickered
in a timeless wind that did not howl but
blew a breath of life into each small
speckled leaf of each green spurt. Each
sapling was a different green hue with
equally different foliage, some being
bristly like an old horse comb reaching
out in needle like array with others
being broad and lavishing the tiny body
they occupied but only one had an

surrounding a bunch of saplings that
were at lot closer than any others. Their
colours stood out a bit less among the
brown ground, with minimal green
highlighting where they were made it
difficult to spot or even count the
amount that was clustered in this one
location. Truth is the colours closely
resembled Light, which had a red tinge
to it but also the ground around. A
majestic sight this was due to both
