Guardians of Time

Tree, guardians of time,

Soldiers of the wild.

Fighter of the never-ending war,

The war of Man versus Wild.

A war fought with sticks and silk,

With factories and flowers.

With hope and despair,

With life and death.

The dead will never rise,

The wounds will never heal.

And we are to blame.

For the fires, floods and fights we start,

For the homes, the hope, the hearts we destroy.

For the ones who are lost, the ones who fall, the ones who are left behind.

But there is time.

Time to change.

Time to feel.

Time to live.

But there isn’t enough time.
