Leshy

"Watch out for the Leshy, for he is sly.
Is that he? That tree?
Or is that he? The wind in the tree?"
- (Russian Folk Tale)

Leshy
Green haired creature of the wood
His skin as blue as his hot blood
I saw him there behind a tree
But then he disappeared

Leshy
Sat on a swaying branch up high
Watching his land with heedful eyes
He looked at me with a big grin
And vanished with the wind

Leshy
Without shadow, full of trick
A laughter right behind your back
He's howling, he's leading you astray
Until you will lose your way

Leshy
Spirit, keeper, waggishly
In a coat of moss and leaves
His eyes were sparkling like the sun
And pointed right at me

Leshy
Without shadow, full of trick
A laughter right behind your back
He's howling, he's leading you astray
Until you will lose your way

Leshy
Don't be nasty, don't be cruel
I won't harm your forest home
Please be gracious, please be kind
Allow me just to roam
