Never shall my feet touch this distant soil again,
Never shall my eyes watch this placid lake again!
God's Earth is vast and we as passers by
Can only exclaim, what, when, how and why!

Remembering a walk through nature at Lake Hope, Athens, Ohio, USA, five years ago! How nicely you have conveyed your sorrowful joy, a real poetry!
What a very touching, melancholic poem! So full of human feeling and sighs. Evocative and lovely.

I often ask what and how. Never 'why'. Any intent is beyond my ken. Nature is oft my muse. Peace
