19. “Dense Forest”

19. “Dense Forest”

(…To be continued…)

Day by day, unaware
the moments slipped away,
One fine day
all friends went to Dense Forest to stray.

They met face to face
yet no words were said,
Silent hearts carried
feelings they never spread,

Under the shadow of their quiet gaze
Everyone turned back, lost in that haze,

Two hearts speaking softly
though their lips stayed lonely,

Within the forest’s gentle shade
a homely warmth would stay, cold air,
The smell of clay-cup tea flowed free
sandwiches, spicy scents, floated there,

Walking along, tea cups tight in hand
Green paths glowing all around,
they wandered without care
Sometimes they looked at each other,
sometimes trees would gleam
like part of a shared dream…

Suddenly
the sky sent a secret sign,
Spring’s tender drizzle fell
drawing them into its rhyme,

Running together
they hid in Dense Forest’s vines,
The sky wrapped in monsoon signs…

What happened next
was already written by fate’s own pen,
Moment slowly settled in their eyes…
forever there to shine ✨
