Face In the Woods
The Face In The Woods
There is a face in the woods
Where no one can see
Banished for good
Held captive for years
Afraid to share her splendor
She only shows her face
For the woods to embrace
She has a body no one can see
Her legs firmly rooted
In the moss by the tree
She watches in the snow
She has nowhere to go
She waits in the mist
Longing to be kissed
By the one to set her free
There is something you see
But are unwilling to believe
That face in the woods…
Is me
Now I am found
Finally freed
