Elements of Life

(Earth, Wind, Water and Fire)

Earth
“The substance of life”

A solid ground of what is
Evolution of what’s to be
Varied grains and textures
Diversified norms and measures
The pull of gravity that holds
And push of integral abode
Plateau of every human domain
Man’s belonging that soul proclaims


Wind
“The breath of life”

The inspirations of hope
The exhalation of doubt
Invisible moving cogitations
Dissipating memory reproductions
Worthiness in celebration of birth
Nothingness in the moment of death
The one that flows with destiny
With time, it begins and then ends



Water
“The balance of life”

Where buoyancy of honesty survives
Against the rhythms of notions surmised
Drops of blessing in hunger or drought
Tears of heaven in grief for the lost
Liquefied arrogance, softened heart
Madness incongruity, dissolving curse
The tides of emotions, streams of behavior
The rides in motion, dreams and endeavors


Fire
“The core of life”

Flames of passion
Blames on actions
Burnt marks of hurt
Glow of joy and courage
In darkness, the guiding light
In journey, the third eye’s sight
The blast of anger and hostility
The gist of kinship’s serenity
