In a Forest

in a forest
you were there revealed
through the briar
i saw
sapphire skies
around you
cloudy days
no more

the entanglement
you were relieved
hands relinquished
no more grief
the axe severs
and branches become livid
as the flames brew

so we burrow into the ground
our home beneath the earth
no one can find us here
and dictate what's wrong or right

we will sail to the core
we will sail to the core
