Silver Garden

Only if prejudice vanishes.

The fertile soil is conquered by scarlet,

flamingo, tangerine,

and golden yellow.

Their efflorescence coloured the world with gaiety,

and warmth they spread.

The other hemisphere is covered with azure,

cyan, indigo,

amethyst.

Their bloom painted the land with calmness,

and peace they share.

Perhaps the red is favoured,

as they look sharp and bright.

But in the eyes of the full moon,

who shines in pure rays,

petals glisten in the same manner.

Roses?  Silver black.

Lavenders?  Silver black.

Only under the lunar judgement,

where colours are dissipated,

can the flowers have a fair chance,

to show their uniqueness,

to display their true beauty,

to exhibit their value to this earth.

In an ideal world,

a so-called utopia,

shall everyone have the eyes like the moon,

the justice like her silver light.

If the hue of blossoms,

does not determine their devotion;

nor does the race of people,

decide their contribution.

Fear of what we don't understand is what breeds hate and anger which results in prejudice unfortunately society hasn't progressed far enough in social equality but we can pen about it and the seed can become planted within one life at a time allow our blossoms to bloom into maturity to process acceptance of other cultures

Indeed, it is really sad that such unreasonable hatred exists in our world. Thank you for your comment, Bill. It really enlightens me that we writers can change the world and minds bits by bits, and that our words will not go into waste. Thank you very much! :)

I thought it was absolutely beautiful. The comparison's are phenomenal. I love the images you brought forth. I want to put it in my library and read it again and again. This is beautiful. Thank you.

Hello Kami,

Nice one. I get the message you're trying to convey and it was as smooth as silk. No problems with this one, liked it overall. Awesome job.

Thank you for the lovely comment, Shogun! I do believe, though, that I am still unable to present my thoughts fully in my words. Gonna try harder next time when writing the same genre! :)

[Shogun]

And I will be looking forward to it.

The flowers are conquering. They are glorious. Everyone shall have eyes like the moon, ok. The last stanza is breathtaking too but also offers us grace, that fate; it is not the color that decides it; it is not the race that makes determines omniscience

Thanks a lot for reading and leaving a review! I am glad to see that my message is conveyed, and I think the word "omniscience" you used is much better than "contribution" I used in the poem. It gives a much wider perspective of things that are not determined by race. Thank you very much! :)
