The Most Beautiful Flower
In the quiet of dawn,
jasmine wakes,
whispers to the moon’s last gleam,
“I am here.”
Its petals unfurl,
a slow dance
in the morning’s breath,
pure and unassuming.
The garden holds its breath,
each bloom a rival
in beauty's silent contest,
yet, jasmine reigns
with effortless grace.
Its fragrance,
a tender melody
floating through the air,
captures the essence of serenity,
a soothing balm for restless souls.
In the embrace of night,
it stands alone,
a beacon of light
in the darkness,
the most beautiful flower,
not by proclamation,
but by the truth
in every heart it touches.
