Forest of Trees

I was just standing there alone But you didn't notice me there My thoughts were on home But home was not in my stare You couldn't see me Amongst all the trees Their many branches were plenty All so unique except for their leaves There were no trails to be seen Or paths to be taken Just trees before me No light to be seen Just the forest before me Like a wall of timber Protecting a secret Protecting a secret way to see You didn't see me standing there You missed the moment that I took A step to the left in the right direction I changed my angle of view My picture changed But I was alone All the trees lined up in rows I saw a path toward light, I froze You were not there To see the light The light that shown through Now I could see the forest Through the leaves Before I couldn't see it Because of the trees
