Diversity of the Elements

Standing upon it without thought passing each day, Our terrain serves our continuity, preserving sway. Preparing spectacular topography to which display. Characteristics of different hue, glorious and gray, Whispering air flows throughout the world in peace. Silently it moves at times, often seeming to cease. Constantly circulating in every aspect of its lease, Violent it may become with a destructive release. Spontaneous combustion, never proven to be, Powers of the flame, necessity for you and me, Discovery of fire was easy, produced heavenly. Captivity, tricky of this beast, fire was born free. So much abundantly occupying our spaces so near, Producing different cultural life, to enjoy and fear. Securing borders for explorers to travel our sphere. Our closest boundary, but not, our final frontier, One irrigates land, one separates flowingly diverse. One feeds the source, only as fuel to burn, intersperse.
