The Elements

Air

pushes, pulls, whispers.

It is always there

yet it is somehow

intangible

just a wisp away

from blowing you down.


Fire

burns, brightens, licks.

It is dangerous, volatile--

a deadly beauty

few can control.


Water

swirls, splashes, cleans.

It can sooth

and hurt.

It is something

impossible to grab.


Earth

grounds, settles, relaxes.

It changes rarely, slowly

and moves only when needed

and it is easy

to hold.
