The Elements

When we look into nature, we see beauty, and destruction Peace, and chaos Water Can be a beautiful flowing stream Or a raging waterfall A gentle rain tapping on the window Or a violent flood sweeping away the livelihoods of many Fire A dancing source of light and heat, used for centuries to guide our world Or an out of control force of destruction Taking everything in its path without mercy Snow Unique crystals falling from the sky, decorating the world with an icy white glaze Or a blizzard Trapping people in their homes, causing pain and chills to those who cannot escape its wrath In the same way we have a choice everyday Beautiful and peaceful Or destructive and chaotic Which will you choose to be?
