A serene moonlit scene features a young woman in a vintage dress by a tranquil lake. The backdrop showcases mountains and a softly glowing moon, with a sailboat gently gliding across the water.

Let poetry paints itself.

“The Girl by the Moonlit Lake”

They say she was a painter’s bride,
but the painter never returned from the far shore.
He had gone to capture the moonlight before it broke upon the lake,
leaving her with a promise: “If I do not return, the light will.”
Every night since, she has walked to the edge of the water
in the gown she sewed from sky and sorrow.
When the moon rises, she listens,
not for footsteps, but for the faint sound of a brush against canvas.
The villagers call her the pale lady of the lake,
but she is not a ghost, only a waiting heart,
painted so gently by time that even the stars cannot tell
whether she belongs to the living or the remembered.
Sometimes the boats on the water catch her reflection
and mistake it for dawn,
and for a brief moment,
the world believes morning has come.
