I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

The scent of pine fills the air,
Quiet, moonlit hills
Hold the moon within their arms,
Stars in twilight dance.

define “His humility was a gentle river, flowing with quiet strength.”
– Equating a person's humble nature to the serene movement of a river.
Beneath the sky so vast and blue,
A whisper rides the morning dew.
The world awakens, soft and slow,
With dreams still dancing as winds blow.
A fleeting thought, a silent rhyme,
A moment caught outside of time.
So let it linger, light and free—
A poem’s breath, just meant to be.
