Safe Haven

I’m captured in the forest

That gives eternal love

The one that sends its mantle

Towards the god above

With boughs that cover all things

And keep them all from harm

That holds the leaves of fortune

As magic moments farm

With fruits of constant caring

And air so fresh to breathe

I stand beneath its foliage

And never want to leave

For captured in this timescale

Are wonders beyond my time

And for these precious seconds

They alone are mine

No man can take them from me

Though follies they perceive

For I am one with nature

Until it’s time to leave
