Beneath the moon’s soft silver gleam, Two ancient pines share a silent dream. Their branches weave through misty air, Guardians of stories hidden there. A traveler paused one autumn night, Heard whispers in the fading light. Of lovers’ vows and wars long past, Of shadows that the centuries cast. The wind carried a faint refrain— A melody of joy and pain. He left at dawn, but never quite Forgot the pines’ moonlit insight.
