Fire Water Air and Earth
I'm Fire, bearer of heat and light
I've forged the fate of all Mankind.
And burning bright amongst the stars,
my attributes are well defined.
I'm Water, essential to life;
I pool within lakes and oceans.
And flow free within every cell,
an innate magical potion.
I'm Air; I comprise every breath,
oxygenating red blood cells.
And absorb carbon dioxide
when your lungs fill and your chest swells.
I'm Earth; I'm essential for health,
supplying minerals cells need.
And I provide trace elements
absorbed whenever life forms feed.
We are Fire, Water, Air, and Earth;
alchemists said they understood.
And yet, strove to hide their insights
through the ages as best they could.
