Five Elements

I am the earth, dark, dense and life-giver Speak to me and I shall teach thee ever. Don't stop me to produce beauty and joy I will in the end won't produce food thereby. I am the sun, fiery, searing and scorching I am also full of passion, love and shining. In relationship with earth to impregnate What is my worth all men know to relate. I am the wind floating, blowing, pushing Soaring through body revolving When fierce, make the world a cruel place Into all beings a taste of immortality bless. I am the rain mostly dropping and falling Make the earth fertile, fair and generating With the help of dear friend the sun I get My attributes are primarily cold but wet Though very complex and captivating is our case Can’t do without the fifth element ether or space

We could not do without everything that Mother Nature gives to us. That is why we should respect her and care for her more than we do. This poem is truly wonderful, Dr. Ram! Congratulations on a well deserved win!
