Haven

It’s supposed to be a safe haven
Protect us from doubt and danger
To allow us to avoid being a craven
And for the trees not to see us as a stranger
For the forest to surround us
Was the highest remark
As he guided and shielded us
He became our ark
The leaves would swell around in the air
Pushing against the world’s corruption
Forcing back its own despair
And to prevent further destruction
The water gracefully streamed into a crater
With a calming and healing nature
But poisons the lives of a traitor
To repay the forest through a simple favour
He allows us to remain safe within his arms
Protecting us from the darkness of the world
For us to disarm
And remain unconcerned
