Inceptive

EARTH from heavy loam the potter does preform
out of the ground a vessel with no breath
Motionless then breathing a living soul
Then it was a man with choice will he conform
To the image or be like the jealous one who stole
who is wise to deceive and causes many a death
Back to the earth and the beginning of a storm
WATER was there but it was clear and at peace
Dwelling above and below until evil overflowed
and it was too much the evil must be cleansed
Erupting from the deep the meek take away the fleece
like tears form the sky the heavens begin to rend
from a grieved heart above rain descends its abode
A flood overflowing the hearts of men the evil must cease
AIR where it comes and where it goes you cannot tell
from your crying first breath until your sighing death
Like the wings of time blowing unseen yet it is felt
how little men think of the invisible where they dwell
It never took faith to breathe walking along life’s belt
until it is taken away then they regard this unseen breath
maybe men will consider more things they cannot compel
FIRE all consuming yet giving it’s all to the human race
A very ancient hearth constant yet always burning anew
Fiery poetic source of all living and justice for dead things
Taught from youth to respect and love yet man forgets his place
Desires misplaced they cannot understand where life springs
With all the elements combined they are figures of the true
Regardless of belief you will one day see His Glorious face
