Picture of Ocean Picture Wairarapa Coastline NZLife sometimes  feels like a stormy  beach..
Trapped by the water, restless waves Being pulled, dashed against the sand Towed downward then allowed to come up for a short breath of air Surrounded by restless water Free at last with the air drying the water residue Independent of the restless waves Freedom that has long been awaited Great breeze through trees and hair Fire needs dryness_warmth Sun peeking through, touching skin Toes in soft sand viewing horizon Of sun slowly rising dazzling color Soon to sit by a warm winter fire Crackling, releasing heat and light Which warms the hearth_home Slow burning fire internal like a volcano Contest:Earthly Elements Sponsor:Leighann Anderson 1) water, earth 2)air, wind 3)fire,earth 3)fire

Very vivid imagery indeed, this was a stellar write. I love the first and final stanza's the most, they have a very poignant emotional presence to them and draw the reader in. Well done and best of luck in the contest.

Fabulous, Sara. One of your very best, I think. Loved the descriptive verses that focused on all the elements. "Fire internal like a volcano" really stood out. Wishing you success in Leighann's contest. Love, cArolyn
