Beneath the ancient oak's gnarled frame, where shadows mingle with the whispers of time, lies a world forgotten by the sun. The roots, thick as the arms of giants, intertwine like the secrets of old, sharing stories with those who dare listen.
Amongst the tangled undergrowth, a soft voice murmured tales of lands unseen and people unknown, etching their histories into the bark's sinewy embrace. The roots speak not in words, but in the rustling of leaves and the sighs of the wind.
Some say the roots remember everything. The laughter of children playing hide and seek in the dappled sunlight, the mournful songs of the rain, the hurried steps of travelers seeking refuge from storms. Others claim they tell the stories of the earth itself, etched in the marrow of their woody limbs.
If you pause long enough to listen, you might hear the echo of a voice calling your name—or perhaps a name you once knew, drifting like a forgotten melody.
