Old Hills

I am older now

and yes,

less sure of my world.

It's just—

I have climbed

the foothills of

my world

only to see the vastness

(the undiscovered country?)

beyond,

slopes and valleys

I've yet to tread

and may not

in my brief time.

So I've lost

the confidence

to claim knowledge

of all worlds.

But you have found

your way

to my world, and

I know these hills

as well as anyone, so

I will gladly

show you the way.
