Relating

When I met earth
She was solid
felt good between my toes

When I met fire
He was hot
crackly and exciting

When I met water
She was swell
cleansingly refreshing

When I met wind
He was cool
always on the go

Signed up
Time passed
Found out that

Earth quakes
Fire bakes
Water boils
Wind roils

Scared me

'til I real eyesed
I 'm scary, too.

Now we try to remember
to hug eachother
frequently.
