the elements

Snow,
the silence it brings
Grants me time to think.
It soft bitter touch upon the world
Feels like heaven.
I look at its extravigent beauty
And it shows me god.
I forget the harsh cold
As I look in awe.


Water,
its calm wakes leave me breathless.
The way it flows into the most marvelous spectacles.
Its ever expanding oceans hold the wonders of the world.
It supplies the world with life.
The waves sway to and fro,
forever grasping my thoughts.

Fire,
it lends heat and light
to the cold and blind
it ignites war and death
for there is nothing left
except black ashes
for only there to be
the raw power that once was
and never to be again
burn away the scipturs of defeat
only to be renewed
with the solace of beginning

Wind,
Life's breath and bane
The silence shatterer,
carrier of rain,
motive of the feather

Sweet whispering
from cottonwood leaves
or bellowing
through derelict caves

Lift hawk-tails and spirits
with a midday breeze;
consuming souls
from a hurricane

Capricious wind
Untouchable foe,
ever-present friend
Master of himself alone,
beginning to the end.
