The Elements of Life

We stand on the Earth.
This Mother, who feeds all life.
Gives to each a home

Comes the breeze. Air wind.
Sigh, breathe, pant, gasp, recover.
The scents astound, with difference

Stand by the fire, here.
Be forged into what we're meant
to be. Warmth as one.

Drops of rain, torrents
Water takes and gives to us.
Needed for balance

But where in these four
is the element of love
without which we cease
