Gemini Garden, Silent One Poetry Contest - Sponsored by: Ink Emoress

Happy Birthday Silent One!

“birds care not for whom they sing” Quote by: Silent One The Gemini garden is in full bloom Looking glorious in the month of June The sound of silence, apart from birdsong Is magic to whom the garden belongs. Birds sing intermittently all day long It’s their language spoken in tweet-along Their tunes are music to us humans too Do they know that? one would hope that they do. Rose and honeysuckle, jewels of June In a vase boom ambience of a room Lily of the valley and lavender In Gemini gardens add their lustre. Roses, being the symbol of romance Grace the air with their alluring fragrance Honeysuckle too are a gift God-sent As are all flowers, wafting heaven scent. At the close of day when moon and stars glow Nature puts on a magnificent show Stupendous delights in silence of night In Gemini gardens, peace does ignite.

Beryl This is a beautiful write! I felt I was strolling in your garden taking in the beauty you describe so well! I like the line which asks if the birds know we love their singing too! I never thought about that! Very sweet thought! All the best in the contest.
