-----------Elementary Love----------
Fate
knew best,
as fingers
intertwined souls
weaving…bringing elements together
A patch of soil, a whisper in the wind
a blackened storm,
wish ablaze--
finding
love
~***~
Earth
embraced
slumbered seed
nurturing it
making room for it, and letting it grow
Through the years, this tree stood steadfast…solid
rooted deeply
yet pliant,
humbly
strong
Air
carries
tall tree’s wish
soars, touches stars
that whisper to the Heavens, blow kisses
Leaves dance, flirt with breeze in constant motion
seasons fly on,
lives pass by,
granted
wish
Rain
water:
a blessing,
tree soaks it in
never drowning, drinking in happiness
Its wood sails in the sea of memories,
waves then crash in
until it
reaches
shore
Flames
burn free,
fire licks...feels,
ravages wood.
Tree’s ultimate sacrifice, exhausted
Glowing embers now remain, gives soft light
just the right heat,
warming souls
that need
it
~***~
He
was that
awesome tree.
He always said,
"You are elementary in my life."
It is only now that I understand…
I was his Earth.
Air. Water.
Fire--Light.
Love.
