Whisper of the Lotus Pond

[Intro] (A gentle interplay of bamboo flute and monochord, evoking the first light over rice paddies) [Verse 1] (Zither begins to trace a melody like ripples on a lotus pond, slow and meditative) (Bamboo flute joins, imitating the wind through bamboo groves) [Chorus] (A swell of monochord resonates, as if calling across the fields) (Zither cascades like water, flute weaves a bittersweet refrain) [Bridge] (Flute and zither intertwine, echoing the rhythm of a bustling village at dusk) (Monochord hums deeply, grounding the melody in ancient roots) [Outro] (The instruments fade, like distant footsteps on a dirt path, leaving only the whisper of the breeze)
