"The Whispering Woods"

In the heart of the whispering woods, Where shadows dance and sunlight floods, The ancient trees with secrets old, Stand tall and proud, their stories told.

The leaves, they sing a gentle song, Of days gone by and nights so long, The river, like a ribbon bright, Reflects the moon's soft silver light.

The wind, it whispers through the leaves, A tale of love, of joy, of grief, The flowers bloom in colors bold, Their petals soft, their hearts of gold.

Beneath the sky so vast and blue, The world is painted in every hue, And in this place, so wild and free, The soul finds peace, tranquility.
