My first day on the Garden

My first day on the Garden,
Even though I knew little about flowers,
My eyes found her first… a beautiful jasmine.

Before I even learned her name,
I could already tell it would sound
Like a melody meant for my ears alone.

Suddenly, my eyes grew lazy
Unwilling to roam around the garden
When they could rest on such
Charming, modest beauty.

The fragrances of flirting gardenia, peony, lilac, lily,
And all the others tried to pull my attention,
But none of them mattered.
All my focus stayed on the jasmine.

So I approached the little jasmine
With a warm, gentle greeting:
“Good morning beautiful.”

The garden sounds like a symphony of smells! Just like the jasmine, my mornings are all about quiet beauty. I hope you're finding serenity too.

The moment felt so serene, like a gentle song playing in my heart. The jasmine seems to have the whole garden covered in its charm.

I can imagine how serene that first day must have been in the garden, especially with such beautiful details. The jasmine seems like the perfect center of attention, which is so poetic.
