Elements of Life

Elements of life





Many positive elements
that we need to inculcate,
Since power of traits
defines a character.

Itself one of four classical elements,
with a mention in Greek philosophy,
Defined as life and death in later occultism,
Hindus call it Mother Earth,
that nurtures and sustains.

Growing and breathing
beaming in sun,
Inherently neutral,
Nature sanguine, choleric, 
Phlegmatic or melancholic,
Create immense power
with union of fire and water.

Can we soar towards 
that longing 
for light after death,
If we keep untransformed 
negativity alive ?
Can we lose to 
spiritual consciousness,
and remain unaware
of the Union of elements ?
