The Elements

The Elements

A Poem by LiliansGift
"

Written about a year ago.

"
The air caresses my face, wiping my tears
The fire warms me from the hearth, chasing away the cold
The water soothes my pains, washing away all traces
The earth grounds me, making sure I never fall

The elements surround me in love
The elements are always there
The elements make this world bearable

I love the crisp air of the night
I love the burning heat of the fire
I love the cool silk of the water
I love the velvet dirt of the earth

They surround me
And ground me
And take my breath away

With their presence

But they can be cruel

The air can smother you
The fire can burn you
The water can drown you
The earth can swallow you

But you can be cruel as well

It all depends on your point of view
