Lakewalks

I Found Myself Surrounded on Each Side

Myself, Yet Not Myself, Met With Me There

Beyond the Grove I Heard the Lakeshore's Tide

By Trees Whose Tops Were Laden With Fresh Snow

My Breath in Tempo With the Ebb and Flow

I Walked Without an Aim, Yet Carefully

I Knew, at Once, All Things That Can Be Known

Aware of Life Abounding Everywhere

A Presence Without Form Drew near to Me

But I Forgot, and Then I Was Alone
