Notes About The Poem

26 June 2024

Gemini Garden, Silent One

"We are all petals of imperfections sharing the same sun" - Silent One

Here in this Gemini garden~
we are all precious petals~
naive and gentle 
wild and free
midst freshly broken morn

We sing as  silvery silence
embraces June's warmest night;
We dance at the first kiss of sunlight 
on our pallid skin 
transforming hues 
from day to day.


Alas, we dwell~
on  idyllic 
but ephemeral setting,
We are endowed 
with vibrant  colours ~
only to fade away 
on moonless eve

We wilt and  dry~
We're bound to die
in few golden sigh

Our petals are canvas
of unfinished masterpieces 
waiting for an artist 
in this  Gemini garden
where Silent One
whispers eternity.

Ink Empress July 2, 2024 at 7:14 AM “ where silent one whispers eternity” that line really won me over! Beautiful! And so evocative and your words flow just seamlessly in a very fitting manner for the quote youv used too! I love how youv started too, we are all indeed, precious in our own way, in our garden, although we sometimes dwell on idyllic yet ephemeral colors! So true! Pleasure reading your use of the quote and seeing you join in for the celebration! Congratulations on your well deserved win! Thank you
