On a day like any other, rumors spread of an echo
residing deep within the chestnut woods.
They say it whispers truths too fearsome
for the faint-hearted.
Legend has it, this echo can foretell
the outcome of your wildest ambitions
and your most mundane tasks alike.
"Will I finish that tedious report or be swallowed
by the void?" you might ponder,
and the chestnut echo will know.
Volcanic Murmurs
Wiser than the sages, or so they claim.
Beware, however, of taking advice
from an echo in the woods.
The trees lean in, every ear an ear...
waiting for the whisper that never was,
and somehow continuing to be.
Wander through the foliage, and you might
stumble upon echoes of your own making:
shadows cast by decisions unmade,
or perhaps, an echo echoing.
Listen carefully, it might say:
"To be or not to be... And yet, here we are."
