The Whispering Brook

A gentle stream meanders through the mossy stones,

Whispering tales of forgotten dreams and ancient tones.

Beneath the willow’s shade, where golden sunlight plays,

A lonely traveler rests to count his passing days.

He hears the water murmur secrets old and deep,

Of lovers’ vows the mountains once did keep.

The breeze carries a fragrance of blossoms yet unseen,

A silent promise of what might have been.

Suddenly a fisher’s song echoes from afar,

Breaking the stillness beneath the evening star.

The traveler smiles, for in that simple melody,

He finds the echo of his own lost history.

The brook flows on, as time forever will,

Carving its path with persistent, gentle skill.

And in its murmur, wise hearts may still hear

The timeless poetry of joy and tear.
