"You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to ride them."


In a land without vegetation, there lies a king and a queen.
The king will acquire rest, after his queen is at peace.
The king without consideration will start the build.
The soil that is placed is artificial, and it houses the world’s collection of plants and trees.
A civilization is developed, much like a dream paradise.

A city constructed for a queen longing for home.
The structure, designed like a maze without end.
The world's most exotic animals join with the gardens to accent the bliss.
The grass and exquisite plants glistened animated colors.
An ancient establishment neglecting discovery.

Devastation thrashes the ancient paradise, an earthquake brings the gardens down to the soil.
The incident proves once more that the garden’s mysteriousness will live on through history.
The gardens that at one point pleased all, now gone as if it was never there.
The timeline of this elegancy is short, but never forgotten.
It lays still without sway, deceiving it is.
