In the middle of a quiet place, tucked between familiar paths and low fences, there lived a garden that knew how to listen.
By day, it drank the sunshine like a long-awaited story. Leaves opened wide, catching every warm sentence the sun had to offer. Petals leaned upward, colours deepening as the hours passed, as if the light itself was painting them from the inside. Bees hummed their small approval, and the soil, dark and patient, held the warmth close. The garden grew slowly but surely, each stem stretching just enough, never in a hurry.
When evening arrived, the light softened and slipped away. The sun left behind a gentle glow, and the garden exhaled. Shadows settled between the plants, and the air cooled. Then the breeze came.
At night, the garden began to move.
Tall grasses swayed first, bowing and rising like dancers who knew the rhythm by heart. Leaves whispered secrets as they brushed against one another, a quiet conversation only the moon could hear. Vines rocked gently on their supports, and flowers nodded, closing their eyes after a long day of watching the sky.
The garden did not sleep completely. It breathed. It listened. It remembered the warmth of the sun while welcoming the cool touch of the wind. Stars watched from above as the plants swayed together, each one connected by roots below and motion above.
And so, day after day, night after night, the garden lived in balance—soaking up the sunshine when it was offered, and surrendering to the breeze when darkness came, content in the simple rhythm of growing, resting, and gently dancing under the moon. 🌿✨
