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
