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!
