ding! says my phone, urgently

but i ignore it and keep on writing

two more: ding! ding! it calls

i sigh, this better be exciting

i open my phone and find three texts

from my close friend, she’s sweet, but crazy

her words are laced with concern and confusion

she’s talking about....singing daises?

i roll my eyes, 𝘴𝘩𝘦'𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘴

she goes “the craziest thing just happened“

“i was outside and the daises started singing”

“if i didn’t record it i’d thought i’d had imagined”

“um wut😂” i type to her back

“you’re playing with me here, right?”

she replies “no i’m dead serious”

“i’ll send you the audio” she writes

i lean back in my chair and wait

a minute later ding! again i hear

i tap the audio message she sends

to my surprise, i hear singing - quite clear

angelic voices flood my ears

wondrous, like nothing i’d heard before

it made me feel like i was a cloud, floating

then the audio stopped, left me yearning for more

i put my hand on my head, eyes wide

“are you sure it’s coming from the flowers?”

i guess that was probably a stupid question

for the music had this unearthly power

she wasn’t answering right away

so i scroll and read back what she sent

i text to her “call or ft me”

she says “brb ill call you in a sec”

again the message plays it’s miraculous tune

and i feel at peace, there’s a great sense of calm

when i finally open my eyes i see the message

has ended...but the music...keeps going on

i stare blankly at my screen, 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩?

the same music i still hear loudly

i turn slowly, scan my desk, and there they are

my two succulents...singing proudly
