The Woodland Invitation

_{(Effect by DeepArtEffects)}

Sunlight filters through the leaves,
dappling the path ahead.
The woods stand cloaked in emerald hues,
a silent, green cascade.

　Stone steps descend, a weathered stair,
　 beckoning, worn and old.
　Mystery hangs in the shadowed air,
　 a story yet untold.

　　Will you follow where the pathway leads?
　　 Downward, into the light?
　　Perhaps a hidden wonder awaits,
　　 unseen, beyond your sight.
