poem of elements
water
Fire burns, I‘ll start to fade
Can see the world as I evaporate.
Through clouds I dance, air seems so free
There‘s nowhere els I want to be.
Darkness came, a heavy sound
Let it happen, fall to ground.
Earth hugs me like a comfy bed
Let flowers grow as the sun sets.
fire
Water, let the cold you own
Help me tame my anger down.
Forgive me earth, for what I,ve done
Didn‘t mean to burn your forests down.
You and me, we‘re meant to fight
But air, you amplify my light.
I‘m ashamed, didn‘t want to hurt
I‘ll try to change, give you my word.
earth
When water flows, I start to feel
My trees begin to heal
From chaos of fires anger
The plants grow back stronger.
Oh dear air, take my seeds
Guide them with your summer breeze.
Dear elements, I hope you know
That I need each of you to grow.
air
Water takes my breath away
Your streams, idyllic and gay.
I know fire wants no harm
Only meant to give us warmth.
Thank earth for leafs on the ground
It‘s fun to make them whirl around.
We‘re not perfect, we‘ll never be
But without you, there‘d be nothing to feel
I know this poem probably isn‘t perfect because english isn‘t my first language and I was struggling a lot with finding words, but I‘m still gonna upload it here since poetry doesn‘t have to be perfect.
