Elementals

I'm ever changing,
I am cold and merciless.
I am never aging;
I am the tide, that is ever remorseless.

You can't see me,
I'm barely there.
I swirl around you;
I'm your friend, the air.

I am older than you realise,
I am slowly waking.
Now I open my eyes;
I'm the stone, that keeps on changing.

I'm the spark,
That ignites the inferno.
I lighten the dark,
Am I friend or foe?

Water, Air, Earth, Fire.
Wandering through endless lives,
Burning with a strong desire.
Living through endless times.
