The Vision by the Lake

Every day the seeker of visions comes to this forest lake, where once he saw a woman more beautiful than he could imagine even in his dreams. From that moment she captivated his heart. Blinded by the sun's rays reflecting in the water and confused by fog that appeared from nowhere, it seemed to him that she transformed into a fish and disappeared beneath the water's surface. In hope of catching at least one more glimpse of the unknown girl who captivated his heart, he plays the harp and sings with his angelic voice.
