Water and Earth

Sometimes, I race the wind - And, erase the sun’s glistening – Embracing your quaking trees, Nourishing you with liquid Comfort… Even the streams appreciate my favors, As I pierce the air with delight, insight - Into the mysteries of your thinking, your feelings… Lingering in the air, like a gentle breath - Hastening through the light, soft Gentle, yet resilient to the touch – never doubting Even flames, stubborn to be snuffed out, Listen to my voice as I convince them to be doused - By my promises… Even the doubts are left in the past, who remembers - You are wiser than I can share – your wisdom… Like the healing of the winds, reassure the spirit That light, sun, can bring sustenance from your filth, The mud caked around your foundation, resting In the clay, the loam… your very substance, your love Embracing me, with all my kindness as I melt away - Your silence… Lifting the streams, the rivers, the oceans… Rising to meet you with a promise that I am strong, Stronger than you knew when we first met – just two Elements, risking our hearts, risking our thoughts, As we discovered one another’s weakness’, One another’s strengths and one another’s promise – To become the best of friends! Together, we can accomplish more than a heart can imagine - Let this love affair take us to the most wonderful places!
