Stones Throw

I stared across the lake at dusk

Hoping answers would emerge from its depths

A still lake was all I found

Furious, I threw rocks

To break the lakes silence

My efforts met with a muffled sound

I threw more and more

A storm of stone

To hear her reply

Fatigued from frustration

Respite was needed

From a plan gone awry

Perhaps one day I’ll hear her answer

Or, at least,

A ripple will reach me
