Below the Weeping Willows
A gentle breeze caressed through the leaves of the willow trees, casting dancing here shadows upon the soft, emerald ground. The air resided heavy with the scent of honeysuckle and damp earth. A lone figure, cloaked in a shadowy blue robe, sat beneath the willows' arching branches, their gaze fixed upon the still waters of the pond.

A tear, unbidden, traced a path down their cheek, disappearing into the folds of their robe. The willow branches swayed gently above them, as if in compassion.
They remained there for what seemed like an eternity, lost in their thoughts, the weeping willows sharing a quiet haven from the world.
