Below the Weeping Willows
A gentle breeze caressed through the leaves of the willow trees, casting dancing shadows upon the soft, emerald ground. The air hung heavy with the scent of honeysuckle and damp earth. A lone figure, cloaked in a deep blue robe, sat beneath the willows' reaching branches, their gaze fixed upon the silent waters of the pond.
Their face, half hidden by a hood, betrayed glimmers of deep sorrow.
A tear, unshed, traced a path down their cheek, disappearing into the folds of their robe. The willow branches moved gently above them, as if in understanding.
They remained there for what seemed like an eternity, lost in their thoughts, the weeping willows providing a quiet haven from the world.
