🧭 The Hidden Opening
Begin where words of welcome stand,
A trail that forks through wooded land.
Choose the bend that feels sun-kissed,
A field ahead, a path not missed.
Beneath young trees and leafy green,
A secret waits, tucked and unseen.

The Hidden Opening
Where forest parts and silence hums,
A path into the open comes.
The way is short, the air turns wide,
As trees give way and shadows slide.
Among the saplings, low and sly,
A hidden form may catch your eye.
🔍 Need a Hint?
Check near the end of the sunlit path where the trees start to thin.

🧭
The Hidden Opening
Two ways diverge beneath the bough,
One cloaked in shade, one brighter now.
Choose the trail where light breaks free,
Where forest fades and fields will be.
No sign betrays what lies below,
Disguised where smallest branches grow.
🔍 Need a Hint?
Not all exits lead out—some hide what’s meant to be found.
