My future lies,
Just beyond the edge of the woods.
Until now the forest has surrounded me,
Sheltered me,
Protected me.

I have explored the caves and treetops,
But now I want to see more.
I love the woods,
But they are too enclosing,
Too protective.

Just beyond the edge
Lies an open field,
A lake,
A swamp,
Or yet another forest.

I want to know what is out there,
To dream,
To explore,
To live,
Just beyond the edge of the woods.
