Gemini Garden - Silent One

Around the lake on midsummer days,
A garden blooms in vivid display,
Red, yellow, white, pink, and gold,
Daisies, Bougainvillea, Dahlia, bold.

Palash trees with fiery hues,
Mirror pink and white lotus views,
Daisies and jasmine garland the shore,
While dandelions and Putush are often ignored.

Summer birds, parakeets, koels, and more,
Trill sweet songs that the wind will soar,
Love birds Papiha sing their tune,
Their voices float beneath the moon.

Papihas cherish summer's embrace,
Sing songs of love with gentle grace,
If one should die, the other will leap,
To join their love in a celestial sleep.

Birds care not for who they sing, 
Their voices carry on the wind's swift wing. 
Their songs unite us, both near and far, 
A reminder of the beauty that we are.

What a lovely write for Silent One. "Birds care not for who they sing," They sing for the ones that hear them. A wonderful ending.... "Good Luck" in the contest. We both did this one.... Have a blessed day/weekend writing away..................
