A stone throw into Sacred Waters
Old folks share plethora of stories,
interesting folklore of life and death
Love has many told and untold stories,
in all eventualities it comes to pass like a bath
Good men have veered into wilderness for fortune
In the unchartered path, they often get derailed
In the maze of the jungle, godly heart changes the tune
Judge all you want, when in love - love leads
A crazy boy throws a stone unto the sacred waters,
the same waters that folklore stories warned about
His fear is the known; the boy loves, so he sacrifices all
Oh dear! what is the story of mortals - death
Love with your all - Live and let live they say,
for beyond death lies the unknown!
