Surprised
I don't know why I should be so surprised, But I am, my cherished lake, Surprised and extremely relieved, at the same time,
To see that you're still right here, Precisely where I left you, in memory's keeping, When I left you, last.
Ah, but that's just it, isn't it? Lately, forgetting has been ravaging my domain, Taking its toll on my cherished holdings,
Not least my hopes, my reveries, my dreams. Even my capacious imagination Has been ransacked by that mindless rapaciousness.
So maybe you can understand, even empathize, When I express my surprise, Especially over things I deeply treasure,
Like you, lake, my favorite place in my estate, You matrix of my boyhood's coming of age. I pray you'll never evaporate.
