IN THE SHADOWED WOOD, WHERE WHISPERS DWELL

In the shadowed wood, where whispers dwell,
A tale untold, where secrets swell,
A dance of words, a silent spell,
Each line a note, each verse a knell.
branches, sighs untold,
 The river flows, its song in hushes,
Each ripple soft, each current's rushes,
In echoed sounds, its journey crushes,
A whispered tale of nature's blushes.

The stars above, their twinkling trance,

In rhythm's sway, they start to dance,
Each constellation, a story's chance,
A whispered echo of romance.

And so the tale, in whispers heard,

Each word a pairing, each line a chord,
In exaggerated truth, its essence stirred,
A story timeless, forever stirred.

With every line, a connection's bind,

In thoughts subordinate, the tale defined,
Each stanza's rise, each fall entwined,
A narrative's journey, in the mind.

In the shadowed wood, where whispers dwell,

A tale untold, where secrets swell,
A dance of words, a silent spell,
Each line a note, each verse a knell.
