Whispers of the Mulberry Tree

I have not seen a mulberry tree, only the words that spoke to me. Now I romance its boughs and shade, where butterflies in beauty wade. Beneath the hush of ancient skies, the mulberry tree in silence sighs, its roots like veins through earthen skin, where time and memory begin. A thousand hands have plucked its fruit, a crimson stain, a whispered truth— love once lost, love now found, a tale in berries, dark and round. Once, Pyramus and Thisbe fled, where white mulberries blushed to red, their love, a river, deep and wide, a vow that even death defied. And in its boughs, a silken thread, where caterpillars weave the dead, cocoons like prayers in golden light, waiting to dance with borrowed flight. From hushed decay, the wings emerge, a breath reborn, a fleeting surge, butterflies like spirits glide, ghosts of silk and time untied.
