‘She’
The Tyndall effect makes a beautiful pattern on her wall as she wakes up, She hears the soft rustling of the leaves and birds chirping outside her window, She takes a deep breath pondering what is in for her for the day, In a bright and chirpy mood, she gets ready and walks out of her house prepared … Continue reading ‘She’
