“The Secret Shoe””

🌺 December 27 – Paphiopedilum
Story & Illustration by Copilot.

Paphiopedilum, Illustration by Copilot.

Deep in the forest, a Paphiopedilum bloomed quietly,
its shape resembling a tiny, delicate shoe.
“Whose shoe is that?” a little bird asked.
The flower let out a soft, playful laugh.
“This is a shoe for walking through dreams.
While someone sleeps, it carries their wishes along the night path.”
That night, in the bird’s dream,
it saw someone wearing the tiny shoe,
walking gently along a road made of stars.
