Elemental Senses

Air shares its delightful grace
  stroking, caressing every face.
Wind tickles crawling clouds
  Then breezes by whistling loud.
Fire jigs a spritely dance
  spouting quips with pops and 
  cracks.
Water gulps a bubbling brew
  then babbles back a trickling tune.
Earth gazes cooly at warm light
 and breathes the musk of days 
damp night.
