Which Element Are You
What an unusual question!
Were we born with it, then, at our birth?
Are you like air, fire, water or earth?
Is it a guide to our vocation?
We do search for success in our days.
To enjoy work that brings us pleasure.
Ah, these are things, we dearly treasure.
And seek them, we do, in many ways!
Knowing your element is the key.
To get along with your fellow man.
Ensuring you, a joyous lifespan.
Compatriots with whom you agree.
Four elements, listed just below.
It’s nothing incensed, nor mystical.
The origins, are most scriptural.
Simple tools for life, on with the show!
Air…mostly leaders and visionaries.
And given to bouts of aggression and arrogance.
Sometimes, bouts of cruelty.
This element, does not set well with me.
Fire…Loads of fun, adventurous, but not given to substance.
They love to poke lots of fun!
And a group this poet shuns!
Sometimes their jokes end up, in broken romance
Water…Warm and placid, does not seem to dominate.
Natural peacemakers who are soothing and comforting.
They go with the flow and will not stand up to the crowd.
Instead, sweetly ruminating!
Eartth-Excels at tasks that do require concentration.
Scholars, bookworms and researchers largely in this group.
Whatever they achieve comes with a painstaking loop.
These are noted writers, thinkers of all nations,
* You will get along best, with those who
share your major element. *
God created superb water, air, fire and earth.
The elements we are grateful for, since birth,
