always on an edge of a fall

I have often been enchanted as I am
still along all of my edges as a lake
edges a forest along a distant ridge
of a green mountain range too large
to compass as I lean over an edge
of a cliff looking down into a valley
to a road I just drove along for miles
in order to hike for hours and hours
so I could sit where I am in this moment
and wander the world’s enchantment
