The Whispering Willow

A lone willow bends by the silent river, its branches tracing secrets on the water’s surface. An old fisherman rows his boat slowly, humming a tune forgotten by time. He casts his net not for fish, but for memories drifting beneath the moonlight. Children once played here, their laughter now echoes in the wind. The stars blink slowly, guardians of stories untold. Seasons change, leaves fall, yet the river flows ever onward. Some say if you listen closely at dawn, you can hear the willow whisper wisdom to those who pause.
