A lonely willow stands by the lake, Its branches trembling with each breath they take. A traveler rests beneath its shade, Hearing tales the rustling leaves have made. Of lovers’ vows in moonlight sealed, Of harvests grown and wars revealed. The wind composes verses old, In every whisper, stories unfold. Time flows as the river sighs— The willow watches centuries rise. Its roots hold memories deep and grand, A silent poet of the land.
