What type of poem am I?

Before I leave, almost without noticing,

before I cross the road and head toward

what I have intentionally postponed—

Let me stop to say a blessing for these woods:

for crows barking and squirrels scampering,

for trees and fungus and multi-colored leaves,

for the way sunlight laces with shadows

through each branch and leaf of tree,

for these paths that take me in,

for these paths that lead me out.
