When the World Came Together

When the world came together
Earth,Fire,Air and Water
Joined
They became Kings
Rocks formed
Glowings
 
In a maelstrom,
of elements
Four Kings
Began the magic
 
Fire pushed the rock to the surface
Water cooled it
The Earth formed it
The air made it all breathe
 
The deafening roar of sound
As the Kings created
Beautiful things
The crackle of flame
Hiss of steam
The grinding of rock
The force of wind
 
Upon a sea of molten rock
The crackle of hiss
Of continents
The elements
The magic
In a world
Began
That kings
Created beautiful,
and wonderful things
 
The beginning
For, amongst the molten rock
Gems were made
One of which
To be discovered
Deep in a mountain
When the earth cooled
Such wondrous colours
Were displayed
 
The kings,
Shaped and carved
The kingdom
The Fire King could cleanse
The Earth King, heal
The Water King ,to give life
The King of Air , made all things breathe
