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
