The Four Elements: a Supernatural Force, a Human Resource

Mantle--a fluid shelf that cradles all existence; Soil--a table that nurtures all subsistence Flora--a cultivated canvas that neutralizes resistance; Fauna--a habituated benefactor of indulgence. Wind--a mysterious force of ambivalence, Dispersing seed and spore with diligence. Fondling cloak that cools with benevolence; Powerful menace that uproots with violence. Fire, generative force imbuing hearth with resilience; A temporal light that provides luminescence. Warming incubator, glowing candescence, Brooding killer scorching with indifference. Water--a random discharge of providence. A vast reservoir of expedience. An enervating stream that fuels with prescience; An extractor that disperses with each recurrence. Immutable elements with primordial affluence; Material objects manipulated for human ascendence.
