Elements
Breathe in. Breathe out.
Air is heard everywhere, by everyone.
Listeners enjoy the words.
Listeners shut off the words.
The gust cannot be controlled.
Whispering a thousand words into
those who listen.
Listen to the never-ending blow.
Dont add fuel to the fire.
The fire of enmity and hate.
A dark past of charcoal roots.
Devouring all in the way.
Spreading the flame by example.
Nobody is safe.
Did air not create this fire?
Hear the crumbling of Earth.
Hear the sand scatter.
The leaves fall.
Wanting to surrender to the
pain, but no one to surrender to.
Watch Earth be swallowed into
abyssal depths and become nothing more
than than a beautiful memory.
Was it fire who did this?
Calm and cool like the ocean blue.
Water understands you.
Carrying boats for nothing in return.
The extinguisher of fire.
The outweigher of evil.
Was it the silence of Earth
that did this?
