Winter Stroll Poem by Jay P Narain

Hand in hand, we strolled,
Around the lake in the hazy winter afternoon,
The fog shrouded the lake in secrecy,
The birds and bees tried to uncover its privacy.

The beauty of geese swimming in pair,
Made us feel warm in cold weather,
The charm and agility of their play in the lake,
Made us to rediscover our forgotten love again.

The milling of pelican, seagulls and ducks,
Cast an aura of free spirit and intimacy over the lake,
The harmony and coexistence they showed,
Made me wonder why could not we live in similar harmony and peace.

As the offshore mountain promised to refill the summer drying lake,
The dew and mist filled warmth in our aging hearts,
Many sun reflections in the ripple and waves sparkled over the lake,
The waves of intimate emotions spilled from our hearts to put a glow on our faces.
