The Four Elements In Nature and Humanity

Fire catches fast, then sweeps through grass and trees. The lion of the elements, it roars, and burning hot, displays its awesome might. Fire signs are one of four triplicities. Bravely, like lions, those of fire will fight. A fire-born person is one who adores his life, and what he wants he’ll simply seize! The element we need to breathe is air. This carrier of currents none can see is spaciousness surrounding everyone. Those born of air may seem aloof! They’re where they need to be; their thoughts float toward the sun. They analyze and then effectively communicate to us because they care. Sweet water! Always we can see it flow. It flows to sea; it ebbs, then flows again. Without it, plants and animals would die. Those born to water are the ones who show emotions freely. Hear them laugh and cry! They touch our souls and give us solace; then entreat us. . . let imagination go! Earth, the final element, is the land; God put us here with feet on solid ground. Sustaining us, it gives much that we need. Those born of earth are stable, for they stand for practicality. They plant the seed of reasoning. Four elements abound. When they’re in harmony, life can be grand! Written Feb. 9, 2016 for the HUMAN NATURE - 4 STANZA, 7 LINE Poetry Contest
