“Hope floats from purple petals to ebony buds” —Silent One Scents of jasmine overwhelm boldly along the granite trail made from ebony buds. Under Jupiter June’s skyline orbits an alignment enhancing deeper blue tones on earth’s surface. Infinite rows of resplendently scented purple petals grace the image I am told. Transported by it, my assignment. Luscious lavender suffuses the soul with its zest, doing what lavender does. Tuning into the mind’s emotional unrest, Slows and unwinds taming the tempest. Tales abound of an endless Gemini Garden found near a fairy chimney~a limestone cave carved out by water encompassed by blooms of deep purple flora. Byzantium blues and violet berries from the Juniper trees, I am crushing on it, but musing on never laying eyes upon such an elysian presence. Into the distance I trek, rushing each eager step. I shall explore the garden I’ve come to adore and its inhabitants, decedents of Pollux and Castor. From the aurora realms ascends the Queenfisher of the bluebird bloodline, her plumes of black lace glide wild. Lily of the valley plays with her daughter Hope. Lilac, one of the heavenly twins will soon come along. Hope ignites the sphere with a sunshine smile Flutters her wings, those of an Indigo child. Serenely she sings a birdsong's ballad.
