I return after a time away
and it is not the samepeaceful still, striking
lakes and forest
followed by more lakes, more forest
to the horizon and beyond
but lacking the magic
I saw with my child's eyes
yet there is a simplicity, a clarity
perhaps it is more real
now that I am more solidly in this world
none the less comforting
rich in its familiarity
I exist in this place
and remember
and experience anew
