"Courage blooms at the crossroads where fear and wonder intertwine."
Hope glimmers faint amidst the gnarled embrace,
A child in white stands at the curious place.
Twisted branches weave a tale yet untold,
Her spirit flickers bright, though the night is bold.
Wings of a beast in shadowed mist appear,
With fierce features lurking, they draw her near.
Cautious hearts dance on the edge of the wild,
In Wonderland's grasp, both the lost and the child.
