Monk

Up in the monastery, there lives a monk.
A monk who wears a robe clad in white
A common occurrence to be found there
But with the robe, he puts a white mask
Keeping his face a secret, even to his brethren.
The monk arrived 6 winters back,
When the snow started melting and a certain flower bloomed.
The monk doesn't speak, some say he's mute
Some say it's a part of his ritual, a pious man claimed.

A monk whose face and words are a secret.
Curious, but what if the monk isn't a male?
Can it be, SHE is trespassing into a male sanctuary
To live a certain way, to see for herself
What makes these men so holy.
