Far from intrusive human eyes
Is a place where secrets are guarded by trees
And hearts are no longer chained to lies

Towering oaks cannot be fooled with a guise
But they protect what they see
Far from intrusive human eyes

A wounded bird sings as she flies
Her impure blood covered by leaves
And hearts are no longer chained to lies

Limbs snap as a part of her dies
Yet she finds comfort in the breeze
Far from intrusive human eyes

Gnarled branches shield him from the skies
For now, he can be free
And hearts are no longer chained to lies

Opened, vulnerable and unwise
Refuge is found in order to be
Far from intrusive human eyes
And hearts are no longer chained to lies
A Villanelle written for my 11th grade English class.
