I closed my eyes and listened intently as the faint sounds echoed through the valley, resembling the whispers of fairies and the murmurs of the forest. At that moment, inspiration surged within me like a spring, and I couldn't help but exclaim, "In the empty mountains, no one is seen, yet the sound of voices can be heard."
"Beautiful poem!" A voice of admiration came from a middle-aged man dressed in simple clothes who emerged from the woods. He had a handsome face, and his features exuded an otherworldly aura. He was Li Yuan, a friend who shared my interests.
We sat beneath an ancient tree, discussing the essence of poetry and sharing our reflections on the beauty of the mountains and forests. "Wei, your poem is truly exquisite. This forest was once my refuge in youth. Now, to share this tranquility with you brings me great comfort."
Hearing Li Yuan's words moved me deeply. For him, this forest was not just a spiritual haven but a part of his life. Although I had known Li Yuan for only a short time, our friendship felt as serene and profound as the woods themselves.
As the sun set in the west, sunlight filtered through the trees, illuminating the earth once more. I gazed at the scene before me, feeling a surge of excitement. In the sunlight, each tree stood tall like a warrior, allowing rays to penetrate their trunks and bring light to the world. In contrast, those corners untouched by sunlight revealed another beauty.
Sunlight spilled through the treetops onto the moss below, creating a stunning tapestry of light and shadow. Suddenly, I recalled a line from my own poetry: "The returning light enters the deep forest and shines upon the green moss." Wasn't this scene exactly what I had described in my poem?
I took a deep breath, savoring the fresh air of the forest, and my mood became incredibly light and joyful. This forest was not only Li Yuan's former refuge but also my spiritual home.
Here, I can forget all my worries and troubles, immersing myself completely in the beauty of nature. I close my eyes and feel the charm of this mountain forest with my heart. Occasionally, the sounds of birds chirping reach my ears, and the gentle breeze brushes against my cheeks. Everything feels so natural, so harmonious. I wish to remain immersed in this mountain forest, experiencing a sense of belonging and joy.
That day, I spent an unforgettable time with Li Yuan. Deer Park, a tranquil place deep within the mountains, had sunlight filtering through the gaps in the leaves, casting a beautiful interplay of light and shadow on the moss below. I was deeply captivated by this scene, feeling the wonder and beauty of nature, while also experiencing inner peace and happiness.
Li Yuan, a nature-loving hermit, shared the tranquility of Deer Park with me. He had once secluded himself in this mountain forest during his youth, and our meeting brought him both surprise and warmth. In turn, I transformed my experiences in Deer Park into a timeless poem: "In the empty mountains, no one is seen, yet voices echo. The returning light enters the deep forest, illuminating the moss above."
This poem not only showcases my love for nature but also expresses my appreciation for friendship. Deer Park gained fame because of my poem, becoming a sought-after retreat for scholars and poets. Many came to experience the beauty I described while also seeking to feel the tranquility and goodness of this mountain forest.
As time passed, Deer Park gradually became a symbol—representing the beauty of nature, the preciousness of friendship, and a poetic life.
