Element Earth
Pulses of earth caressing my heart
I feel each grain as if hourglass sand.
Rhythm of life ticking from birth to depart
Cultures softly tinged by the soul of the land.
I hear the call of a presence borne of the past
Echoes of bounty rebound in this world.
Harmonies vibrate, of land ample and vast
Then a warning of future madness unfurled.
I see creation and nurture as they mingle in soil
Seasons reflect within earth’s precise hue.
Figures of mountains implying peace and turmoil
Mysteries are hinted amidst historic old clues.
Lingering scents drift of insatiable dreams
Tastes of the landscape, enrich and contrast.
Cycles and motion of existence and schemes
Undeniable connections, to earth are steadfast.
Cleansed and absorbing I open my eyes
Dirt still caresses and quivers my skin.
Few understand, of land and mans’ ties
Of middles and ends, yet a scene to begin.
