Elementally

Grounded are the feet that be in the elemental earth Bounded we the legs that keep the motion of walks Rounded is the dirt beneath as the pressure begins to mound Founded the discovery to uncover knowledgeable talks Sculpting melding seeping The soil underground flowing heated molten Melting shaping morphing Formation created solid black rock ground Steamy is the water of the magmatic oceans deep Risen layers pillow topped stacked slowly in the chill Solidifying new earthen life pushed through to a crusted rebuild Slowly in the unseen depths where land is consuming sea Wisps of wind waves whistle with gaseous fumes Lofting liquid red as golden orange fissures spread bloody fires Inches measured by millimeters mold metals magical blaze Wild widening of gaps shallowly engraved a blackened glaze Obsidian wasteland of a treacherous expanse gathered island life Reflective surfaces weathered time breaking down rock to sand Erosive washing of corrosive materials gritty consumed by forces of nature Natural is the condensing of observatory images in the fluid eyes of man Inspired by 'It's Elemental' By Carole Duet

Thank you for admiring this one. I really enjoyed Carole's poem with all four elements it took me to a place of imagining the beginning of land formation. Which is why I love the growth and progression of this poem. XO

Appreciate your commentary it is always a refreshing read of intellect. Thanks for taking the time to read and write! :-) I wanted to dive into a conceptual piece for the earths science of hot spots and lava flows. Must admit I was thinking about the Hawaiian Islands and how I missed the warm sea there and fertile land. Have a great day!
