Poem

Four Elements are there. Reckless and Wild, without a care Here blows Air--

Capricious winds control the sky,
Bring storms and clear skies, heat and cold,
Bring flood and drought - we know not why,
Nor can predict, Air's next direction.
Change its essence, chaos its ally,
For Air cannot be captured, confined, controlled,
But breaks all bonds, and flies off free
Leaving behind we who dare not follow,
Bound by rules of life and law
Resisting that which cannot be -
Though Air gives us our breath, our very life,
Our words, our songs, our soaring, daring flight
Into the unknown - the unknowable.
But it promises nothing, and those who jump blind
Off a precipice may gall instead of soar.
Air knows no past, nor future,
But in the ever-changing now
Air blows wild
And blows free.
