Where the trees, untouched, sighs

Reflections in nature.

The woods, wild and beautifully untouched, laze beneath the azure heavens, the forest quietly awaiting the change of seasons. The wildlife graze peacefully, harmony a song sung upon the wind

Beneath the canopy, where shadows play, the untamed land basks in virgin beauty. Leaves dance, their secrets told to the passing breeze in hushed, ancient tongues among the trees.

Sunlight dapples through a leafy limb, where forest's creatures find their home. Ferns unfurl and mosses softly spread, like a carpet lush where silent footsteps tread.

The air is crisp with autumn’s last embrace, A touch of change in nature’s timeless cycle. Branches bow with memories of the passing season, Now painted gold by summer’s fleeting fling.

Awaiting winter’s whisper in the air, the woods stand still, breathless, in sacred prayer. For in this cycle, seasons intertwine, each moment brief, yet infinitely divine.

The brook meanders with a gentle song, harmonious with birds that flit along. Unseen, unblemished by human hand or care, a wild beauty, perfect and so rare.

Here, time flows differently, serene and slow, a hidden world where ancient rhythms thrum. And as the seasons shift and subtly blend, the forest welcomes change, its faithful friend.

Anton stood at the forest's quiet edge, peering at the pristine and unaltered scene, comparing it to the cacophony of the noise, laughter and warm celebrations of the world far removed from the peaceful forest.

Shadows danced on the leaf-strewn hedge. The graceful woods, a world apart, stirring a stillness deep within his heart.

Here, beneath the canopy of nature's silence, each rustling leaf, each whispered breeze, speak of timeless peace among the trees.

He hears the distant sounds of human laughter and music ringing clear. Warm celebrations, crowded streets, where joy resounded mightily in holiday cheer.

Yet here, in solitude's embrace, can be found a different kind of grace. No clamor, no rush, no hurried stride, just the forest's quiet rhythm.

What a marvel the contrast there, between the bustling world's affair, and the tranquil woods, as if time itself flitted to and from the calm and noise in happy heartfelt choices .

He delighted in life's brightness, warm and welcoming. But here, beneath the ancient trees, he breathed the peace that set him free.

Anton, at the forest's silent rim, found harmony within the medley, of human joy and nature's song.

Within the balance he found a euphonic symmetry, to which he now knows that both belong.

Holiday reflections. Life is Nature versus nurture.
