Beneath the moon's soft silver gleam, An ancient pinewood tells a dream. Its needled boughs in breezes sigh Of passing years and time gone by. One traveler paused to hear its tale— How winter’s frost and summer’s gale Had shaped each branch and weathered bark Through seasons bright and evenings dark. A whispered truth the pines impart: “There’s wisdom in a steadfast heart.” No more he rushed—he stayed to see The beauty of just being free.
