At Bay
The ground stands steady
A resting place for all
Through thick and thin
It will answer your call
The trees wave
And use roots to pave
New paths and books
So we can take new looks
The brown soil
Where worms coil
Is where all stands
And creates different lands
The ground unites all so grand
And helps them work together hand by hand
These are the elements that create earth today
And all keep each...
Fire
The one element we all need is fire
Fire in your heart to feel alive
Not a tiny spark, but roaring flames
Something your absolutely passionate about
What gives you energy?
What gets you out of bed in the morning?
The thing that makes your heart beat faster
And gives you energy to keep going
If the flames are getting smaller
And the light is not as bright anymore
Give yourself some space, some fr...
The Four Elements
Fire fire fire, it can be a disaster. It can burn down homes and clear out our bush lands.
Was it really the fire that is dangerous though or the person using it?
In the olden days, fire was a survival skill, if you had it you were pretty lucky.
Burn off’s are used to get rid of unwanted things, if done right it is controllable.
Candles need to be lit, some burn powerful and high but if you’re...
In the Wind
In the wind
We scatter
Like ashes
Lose altogether
In the wind
We fly
Like birds
Far and wide
In the wind
We find
How weak we are
How blind
In the wind
We dissolve
Slowly, like stone
In water
In the wind
We are cold
To the bones, as if
Our souls were sold
In the wind
We cry
For our eyes
Become dry
In the wind
We are free
Like the leaves
Of a tree
In the wind
We wait
For a shelter
‘Till we fi...
Red
Leave and branches made you come,
With the sun shining you showing off.
The way you act like a two face person,
Help us with what we need,
Take away what need.
You are a element of the nature,
You have your duty to perform.
We want to stay close to you,
We want to stay away from you.
You and us treat each other well,
But there will be a angry moment....
Fire
When the Phoenix flames
Shine upon the rocks
Of Gibraltar, shaking
Their very roots to the
Core, you will find my
Eyes ablaze, carrying
Full purpose.
The day is coming;
A spark shall light red
Razor-feathers and
Cast beams bright
Enough to blot the Sun’s
Rays themselves.
And when meager times
Arrive, I will not wither.
I will be the candle which
Never fades, my resolve
The endless
Wick, the fuel...
Elementals
Wind that whips my hair around
Fire that consumes the very ground
Earth that will move and shift and grow
Water with its endless bountiful flow
How barren the earth would be
Without the elements to last for eternity
Would man have survived
If not for the great elements who thrived
They provide and destroy
Though to them, we mortals are a mere toy
Perhaps more like the elements we should be
B...
 If A Man
If a man were to cradle me,
His embrace, a fleeting gust,
Like leaves rustling in the night, his touch,
Would surely turn to dust.
If a man were to run his hands,
Through my hair till break of day
The night would blur, the sunrise would,
Be dull and dimmed by gray.
If a man were to ignite me,
With hands aflame, passion's blaze,
The fire would only scorch my heart,
Leaving naught b...
Fire
My life is a burning mess,
I'm consumed in a whirlwind of heat,
The pain inside me lingers like a flame that won't extinguish,
The trauma from when I was assaulted and harassed,
It's like a fire that's slowly creeping up,
Consuming everything in its path,
I'm burning up inside with the rage and pain that remains from those dark times,
I'm like a fire that needs to be put out.
