A tale unfolds where ancient rivers flow,

beneath the boughs where silver moonbeams glow.

A lonely traveler, with a heart of stone,

once wandered paths he’d always walked alone.

He met a willow, wise and old and deep,

whose roots held secrets that the earth would keep.

It whispered stories of the passing years—

of joy and sorrow, laughter, pain, and tears.

“Why do you journey with such weary feet?”

the willow asked, its voice both strong and sweet.

“I seek a purpose,” said the man, head bowed,

“beneath life’s ever-changing, shifting cloud.”

The willow sighed, its leaves a gentle stir:

“The world is not a blur; you are part of her.

Find strength not in the far and distant shore,

but in the peace inside—and ask no more.”

And in that moment, under stars so bright,

the man found solace in the soft night.

He saw his path was not a road to take,

but just a choice to make for his own sake.

Now by the river, still the willow stands,

offering its wisdom to all lands.

And travelers pause, if they but care to hear,

the quiet truth that banishes all fear.
