Below the Weeping Willows
A gentle breeze whispered through the leaves of the willow trees, casting dancing shadows upon the soft, emerald ground. The air drifted heavy with the scent of honeysuckle and damp earth. A lone figure, cloaked in a dark blue robe, sat beneath the willows' spreading branches, their gaze fixed upon the serene waters of the pond.
Their face, half hidden by a hood, betrayed traces of deep sorrow.
A tear, unexpected, traced a path down their cheek, disappearing into the folds of their robe. The willow branches swayed 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 silent haven from the world.
