The 5th Element


Fire
The source of light, everquenching
In its thirst for more
Devouring, eating, yet warming n heating
Giving life that greater score

 

Earth
The source of sustenance, the giver of food,
The one that holds us back so dear
Not letting us float in air,
Whatever we have, all given by her

 


Wind
The element of air, making all things alive,
Fanning , driving, fluttering all,
Gentle in its touch and feel
Yet bends a tree so tall

 


Water
The quencher of thirst, the caretaker of life
To bathe in it or play in it, a joy so true
The cleanser of dirt, yet precious as ever
To swim in it, its colour so blue....

 

Me
As with the others that never change
They are what they are for all to see
For all time, their natures will remain
For I.....never changing....the 5th element.....
