Your Haven

Outside your haven 
Are worries and sadness,
The fears and tears are
Growing and coming so close,
I feel i am in a war front.

Outside your haven
Are desolation and tribulations,
Being so heavy and pressing me strongly,
Treacherous happenings all over the air,
The warmth you gave me,
Vanished as i stepped out of
Your haven.

Outside your haven
Are arrows and sorrows,
Looking so wicked and never 
Want to be friendly.

The favor i used to savor,
Can't be gotten outside
Your heaven,
But inside your haven are 
Founded peace and serenity 
Which i call my rest.
