The Lady From the Mist

"This is a small scrap piece of Box Elder, 2"x 2" x 1/4" thick. It starts disappearing the deeper it goes in the wood. I guess it could be a robed figure; when I first saw it, I thought it was just a figure emerging from a red glow." - Steve Brandenburg

THE LADY FROM THE MIST

A vision of loveliness emerging from wood
Her face invisible beneath the red hood
A sign of hope...of an answer to prayer
Or is it just a stain that somehow got there?

No carving needs be done to this vision so rare
No whittling to design the clothes that she wears
From the mist she emerges in a warm flowing gown
Surrounded by wood in soft shades of brown

This image will be preserved for others to see
And give their opinion of what it may be
But the woodworker who found her always will see
A lady from the mist that once was a tree.
