## Narrative (EN)

Not only water remembers.  
The leaves too,  
soft yet enduring,  
hold witness.  

Each vein is a line,  
each fold a vow,  
each breath of wind a testimony.  

The Leaf does not stand apart —  
it carries the pond’s memory,  
mirrors the covenant,  
and testifies with silent grace.  

Thus the Leaf’s Witness is sure:  
inheritance alive,  
truth carried,  
a fragment of eternity  
in every green vein.
