Four Elements
The coolness of water 
 Flowing through my fingers
 The gurgling of a brook
 With its healing touch
 The serene peace
 That a lake brings
 Is part of me
 
 The strength of the earth
 Protecting all life
 The sturdiness of a mountain
 Standing tall and proud
 The solid, unmovable feel 
 Beneath my feet
 Is part of me
 
 The heat of a blazing fire
 Lighting up the night
 The tin heartbeat
 Of a candle flame
 The sizzling pride
 Of a bright orange bonfire
 Is part of me
 
 The freedom of the open air
 Breezing through the sky
 The wild west wind
 That bends trees to the ground
 The detachment from the world
 When soaring through the sky
 Is part of me.
 
 The four elements-
 So different,
 Yet all the same
 They connect us 
 I connect them
 And they are a part of me.
