Burnham Lake
The weeping willows
Surrounding the lake,
With curtain-like branches
Sheltering lovers,
Are like a shroud
Hiding a mystery
Only those who ever loved
Could truly fathom.
The placid water
Awakens gently
When a wooden swan
Passes by. The parted waves
Remix but they’re not
The same as they had been:
Like my heart when you came
Into my life--
And later left.
*Burnham Lake is the most prominent feature of Burnham Park in Baguio City, Philippines, named after the American architect Daniel Burnham, who designed the city during the American occupation of the country.
