Five Elements

I am the earth, dark, dense and life-giver Speak to me and I shall teach thee ever. Don't stop me to produce beauty and joy I will in the end won't produce food thereby. I am the sun, fiery, searing and scorching I am also full of passion, love and shining. In relationship with earth to impregnate What is my worth all men know to relate. I am the wind floating, blowing, pushing Soaring through body revolving When fierce, make the world a cruel place Into all beings a taste of immortality bless. I am the rain mostly dropping and falling Make the earth fertile, fair and generating With the help of dear friend the sun I get My attributes are primarily cold but wet Though very complex and captivating is our case Can’t do without the fifth element ether or space
