(let the rustling leaves be our only witness) The oak recalls tales of human fallibility—it stood too late to intervene. "Do they see me as shelter? Or merely a platform for their ephemeral thoughts?" it muses.
The stones speak seldom, and when they do, their voices tumble like gravel, holding time's grievances. "In our stillness, we have watched. We have listened," they whisper, "betraying all who sought to unearth our patience."
How do trees dream when seeds born of wind fall silent upon their branches? This question reverberates, unanswered. The forest floor, ever absorbing, holds trust where dew cannot trespass.
Shelves of moss frame their deliberations—a comfort sought within the dampness of the earth. "Soft our grassy beds, yet hard our truths," voices the clearing like a scholar long lost to formative imprints of abuse.
Entangled roots wonder about the veils of fate. "Will we justify bending" they ponder, "or merely break to ease our veins' tightly wound throes?"
Grasp these elusive letters as you wander in thought: found in the bearing arc of earthly witness where each heartbeat pierces twilit darkness. Forge the journey across forgotten pathways unfurled in inertia.
Instill ponderings in muttering stones nurtured by damp discourse.
Touch the leaved sky where secrets twist in mystified trunks beyond mere translational bodies.
