Like a bird with no nest in Spring, wandering from tree to tree ~the young lady thought. Like a sailboat with no sails, adrift in the lonely ocean left to its fate ~the young lady shivered. Like a child without presents at Christmas, wondering if Santa Claus lost the address ~the young lady was heartbroken. She walked alone in the harsh blizzard looking for her prince, her aching heart was bleeding after losing the love of her life. Overcome with grief, the young lady disappeared into the freezing dark lake to meet her beloved one. Sometimes, beside the lake, you can listen to the Lady of the Lake singing in the winter nights. Sometimes, under the moonlight, you can see two shapes embraced dancing above the waters.

Magnificent story told so beautifully....what a coincidence...there's a similar story here in our area about the Lady of the Lake, a woman who drowned herself after her lover drowned when his boat overturned. Anyway, I liked the metaphor here: Like a child without presents at Christmas, wondering if Santa Claus lost the address ~the young lady was heartbroken. Such an elegant way to describe her grief. Your eloquence and delicate poetic voice inspire me. Nicely done, Maria, hugs, Sara
