Autumn Thoughts | Mountains as Paper, Inspiration as Spring

I arrived with my notebook, intending to finish a draft, but I was captivated by the poetic beauty of the mountains. My pen paused on the paper, but my thoughts had already soared to the bamboo sea and distant mountains outside the window. Every day, I wrote on the terrace, the bamboo sea swaying in the breeze, like a rolling green ocean, the distant mountains layered like a dark blue ink painting. The sound of the stream and birdsong became a natural background music, and the rhythm of my keyboard keys became an involuntary gentleness. When my thoughts ran out, I looked up and was greeted by the vibrant autumn scenery: a falling red leaf, like a butterfly, landed on the page, becoming the most vivid bookmark; a breeze brushing the bamboo branches, bringing the coolness of the mountains, instantly dispelled the fog of thought; the mist rising from the distant mountains, lingering like a veil, seemed to cast a mysterious filter over my inspiration. When I felt tired, I walked the bamboo forest path, listening to the rustling of the leaves, like the whisper of a wise man, sorting out my chaotic thoughts. Walking on the path paved with fallen leaves, each step rustles, as if stepping on the keys of time. This landscape is not only a place to rest, but also a fertile soil that nourishes inspiration. Here, words are imbued with the breath and luster of the mountains, each line carrying the sweetness of bamboo leaves and the freedom of the mountain breeze. It turns out that the best creation isn't achieved in isolation, but rather by allowing the soul to dialogue with nature. In the embrace of the mountains, inspiration will naturally flow like a clear spring.
