Where the Forest Ends

            Maybe I should stop here
            today,
            by the edge of the grove where the forest ends,
            although
            I want to go longer.
            Maybe
            I should stop now,
            while I'm still in the grip of awe and wonder,
            before
            the memory of the walk fades…
            Maybe
            it will become less precious
            if I
            don't stop here…
