The sweet scent of pigmented flora drifts swiftly across the vast azure sky as I walk slowly through the peaceful garden. The dazzling display of colour puts even the brightest rainbow to shame. My mind is tranquil and my breath is calm because of the fresh air that is kind to my nature. When I feel the smooth velvet rose petals I can feel their empathy and compassion swallowing my heart. Flowers dance and bloom under the scorching sun waiting to be picked by florists and sold to customers that desire plants.
