Beneath the sky, so vast, so blue,
A group of teens seeks something true.
In a garden where the blossoms breathe,
And leaves like lace form nature’s wreath.

Laughter rises, soft and light,
Echoing through the petals bright.
No screens, no noise, no hurried pace
Just sunlight’s touch, a warm embrace.

A breeze dances through the willow’s hair,
Whispers secrets only it can share.
The scent of floral lingers near,
A simple joy, so pure, so clear.

They sit side by side, words unplanned,
Tracing dreams with idle hands.
As bees hums their fleeting song,
And time drifts pleasantly along.

One plucks a daisy, shy and coy,
Another smiles, a quiet joy.
In these moments, soft and small,
Life reveals its beauty to all.

Here, amidst mountains the flowers’ bloom,
There’s no need for grandeur or room.
Life’s beauty lies, as seasons show,
In simplest moments, where hearts grow.
