Basil – A Hymn to the Green
Basil, a leaf of such simplicity,
A symbol of love, healing, and peace.
With every sprig, every leaf that unfolds,
It reminds us of the life that dwells in us all.
Basil, you silent, green being,
With you, we find peace, in your scent, paradise.
You’re more than just an herb, You are harmony,
you are home, you are voice.
In science, in the kitchen, in culture,
Basil has its place, like a sacred altar.
It cleanses, it heals, it brings us together,
With each leaf, a pledge to start a new.
Basil, you silent, green being,
With you, we find peace, in your scent, paradise.
You’re more than just an herb, you are harmony,
You are home, you are voice.
Basil, you teach us patience and care,
With you, not just plants grow, but understanding and respect.
In every pot, a microcosm,
A garden of peace, love, a silent oasis.
In winter’s darkness, a breath of summer.
Basil reminds us of the light, the warmth to come.
It’s a bond to Mother Earth, an herb that teaches us to live,
to love, to become.
Basil, you silent, green being.
With you, we find peace, in your scent, paradise.
You’re more than just an herb, You are harmony,
you are home, you are voice.
You are a teacher of nature,
Showing us how life grows from seed, how harmony comes from nurture.
Basil, you are a mirror,
A mirror of our quest for peace, for unity.
So we cultivate basil, not just for taste,
But for the wisdom it imparts.
It’s a symbol of good in an often harsh world,
A leaf that reminds us how simple and deep peace and love can be.
Basil, you silent, green being,
With you, we find peace, in your scent, paradise.
You’re more than just an herb, You are harmony,
you are home, you are voice.
So, in every leaf you touch,
You see not just basil, but the potential for healing, for connection.
Thank you, green friend, for what you teach, for the peace,
the love you stir within us.
May every leaf of basil remind us to pause,
To breathe in peace, to sow love, to nurture hope.
Let this herb be our guide to a world
Where every garden is a sanctuary of harmony.
