Rejuvenate

Rejuvenate

Sunrise in late summer is always a pleasure
It comes a little later and starting to be cool
The east will glow in crimsom yellow
With wisps of clouds radiating the brightness
To announce the new beginning

The birds will sing a thousand times
Today, tomorrow I do remember
Some gathered for breakfasts, some stretched their wings
Perched on the lone stately palm tree
In the yard of ebbing morning dews

The blue grass are growing denser
A sight to behold in early morning
With my barefoot, I have trodden
It feels like a luscious carpet of the Turks
Only it is green all over

The patch is compact but full
With pockets of morning star and golden box
Arrange in the ethereal beauty of symmetry
Plants in topiary forms of mounds and spikes
Creates a dreamlike paradise

Denrobiums abloom in various colors and hues
Gives a hint of eden amid metal bars
A gated garden ensures to protect the flora
With a growing apple mango tree surely creeping
And dominate the shade underneath its being

It feels like home, it invites you to stare
If only for a moment, you’ll be caught in a spell
Green grasses, sturdy plants and trees a growing
A real oasis, thriving with life - a garden enchanting
A sight to behold and truly rejuvenating!
