Beneath the boughs of twisted trees, a saga unfurls,
A tapestry of shadows, where the heart swirls.
Families entwined in a web of deceit,
In a realm where redemption and darkness meet.
Silent whispers echo through the night,
Secrets veiled in the pale moonlight.
Brothers bound by a covenant strained,
In the dance of shadows, truth is gained.
Fields of discontent, sown with regret,
A legacy of choices, hard to forget.
Where the river of time flows dark and deep,
In the heart’s recesses, secrets keep.
Betrayal’s silhouette, a phantom in the mist,
Haunted echoes of the clenched fist.
In the cryptic language of the unspoken,
A tale unfolds, in shadows unbroken.
