The Quest Among Shadows

Somewhere, in the sleeping silence, were the mountains—a congregation of stony giants tracing a zigzag in the sky. Their whispers spoken in windswept lies and secrets kept in cragged silence.

Fragments of old trails stand like memories, worn thin beneath passing feet.
And amidst the pines, the earth breathes stories of old.
Not the grand legends of brave knights, but those of simple wanderers.

Here, the ascent is gentle but persistently aims towards the unknown.
Morning dew clings to the fragile promises of another day.
Birds weave tales of their own, unfurling in arcs against the rising sun.

What remains below stages a reverent retreat—as if parting to bestow
a chance encounter with a mountain’s solemn memory, lost over time.
Do you allow your thoughts to fracture into these reconciling forms?

Aimless paths lead to no destination, yet every step seems savored.
Soft sounds, the rustle of leaves, and distant calls, build
a realm fragmented by the echoes of steps uncensored and sober.

As you stand now on rocky choices, look closer – does the mist reveal paths to a place unseen, a promise held in the unfurling landscape? Or is the mystery simply ours to uncover in shades not yet grasped?
