I Am God

I am guarded by the swirling vines, as my flowers enchant you,
The water cools us, on my land the creatures graze and hunt,

My weakness is shared among my beings,
It is always there to haunt us, at the back of our minds.
Ready to jump out like a prying lion

People will come and go but I shall always stay,
I have provided for and I have helped you,
I will always be there for you, you will always need me.

But you can not say the same for me, you cannot come close,
Since one of you decided to burn me and kill me and cut me
And at last break me

Yet I will always remain here by your side for I am in you,
I am who you are, I am God.
