Mask of the Greenwoman
There is an ancient tale, eons old
throughout generations it has been told
the story of wild beauty and her purpose in life
tale of the Greenwoman, the Greenman’s wife
Within ancient woodland she travels deep
beyond sacred waters and willows that weep
,
soft Forest voices whisper and gently caress
they know the power that she doth possess
Her face hidden behind enchanted mask
guarding deep secrets, such is her task
sacred and ancient knowledge She nurtures inside
She harkens to the Forest, mysteries it confides
The benevolent Greenman her companion and lover
They explore hidden paths, ancient secrets
discover
Bound by the earth, to its laws they adhere
Cradled in the arms of the Forest, they will always be here
