By the Lake

BY THE LAKE

I stop by the lake today
In solitude, listening to my inner voice
Questioning my heart, searching
An answer to the riddles of love!

The lake is unfathomable
I pick up a stone, throw it away into the lake
I realized, you are not a stone throw away
You are thousands and thousands miles away!

By the lake
I listen to the whisper of the wind
As if wheezing a thousand murmuring
Murmuring of uncertainties, adventures of love!

As I left the lake 
Alfred Lord Tennysons’ reverberated
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all’
