Stray, to where? With whom?
In the end we must choose ourselves
over and over.
We could not tell you sooner—
you had to ask the question first,
had to wonder why….
Do all the if-only-I-could things
all of the pointless, wonderful things
It’s not too late
to go to wild places,
alone,
and unafraid…
There are places where thoughts cannot go,
places your mind will not take you.
Like a road that stops at the foot of a hill
or falls short in the deep of a valley…
Where are your wilds?
What have you tamed
and let others tame in you?
