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 shows only 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

the face in the woods…
is me

now i am found
finally freed
