Underneath the Weeping Willows
A gentle breeze rustled through the leaves of the willow trees, casting dancing shadows upon the soft, emerald ground. The air hung heavy with the scent of honeysuckle and damp earth.

A tear, unexpected, traced a path down their cheek, disappearing into the folds of their robe. The willow branches swayed gently above them, as if in sympathy.
They remained there for what seemed like an eternity, lost in their thoughts, the weeping willows offering a peaceful haven from the world.
