Fifth Element is a movie I've watched a hundred times
yet still each scene exudes an aura of fascination.
The perfect mix of action, mystery and fantasy,
its charm is in its innocence and humour.
The characters are lovable though quirky
and that's what makes them unforgettable.
Friends from another dimension, they need regular visits
because they instantly can warm the fibers of our heart.

Earth to give
form...
Water to give
spirit...
Fire to give
heat...
air to give
breath...
In the great crucible
of nature, only
four essences
to create life...
To make
the universe vibrate...!
Whisper of the Elements
In the stillness of the twilight hour,
A witch’s breath, a whispered power.
Elements old, in circle bound,
Their ancient secrets swirl around.
Earth, the roots and bones of stone,
She holds the weight of worlds alone.
With soil rich and fertile loam,
A cradle for all life to roam.
Air, a sigh, a tempest’s flight,
She dances soft, she rages bright.
Through forest glade, through mountain spire,
A breath of life, a witch’s choir.
Fire, a spark, a blaze of might,
A guiding torch in blackest night.
A flame to warm, to burn, to forge,
The witch’s will, the spell’s bright gorge.
Water, winding, deep and clear,
A mirror to the heart’s own fear.
She carves the stone, she cools the flame,
A river wild that none can tame.
So in the circle, here we stand,
With moonlit sky and ancient land.
The witch’s chant, the earth’s own hum
By these four powers, all things become.
True joy comes not
From having more
But be grateful.
True freedom comes
From inner peace
And acceptance.
Success is built
By countless fall
Each fall a test.
Persistence rave
Key to success
Give good result.
Ocean thrusted at my feet
The wind stroked my hair with gust
Fire sky; earth shake.
Whistling air
burning fire
running water,
waiting earth...
water with earth, clay,
water with air, foam,
fire with water, water
very warm...
Air with air, flute,
earth with earth, garden,
fire with fire, love,
water with water, agauceiro...
Just four essences,
four sweet handfuls
and a cauldron...
The universe has already been
perfumed with magnolias... !
Transcription in translation of a poem by
the great Argentine writer/poet
Liliana Bodoc.
Summer comes with a sweltering iron
Mashed on the growling flowers—
Though sun may stick upon a leaf,
All life's skin craves the steam.
Mashed on the growling flowers—
When the bulbs' expressions out at last,
Though sun may stick upon a leaf,
To catch hot pain is now my norm.
When the bulbs' expressions out at last,
Though sun may stick upon a leaf,
To catch hot pain is now my norm—
Summer comes with a sweltering iron.
I soar high above the mountains touching every elusive peak
carrying white fluffy clouds on my back, unhinged and free
The parched lands look up to me to quench their thirst and pray
I blow the moisture-laden clouds, I carry from place to place, their way
I never rest a moment for that would be catastrophic beyond reason
the same is true of my excessive agility as I cause storms of destruction
My power is immense to cause havoc when angry, which is often
But, I also touch the cheek of a child gently, and caress unseen
I go everywhere, I touch everything, nothing escapes me on the surface
I snuff out flames but I also fan fires, I'm the original 'Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde'
Many ancient religions and tribes worship me as a Diety of some stature
But I must admit I am disoriented by the Sun's heat, and Earth's rotation.
The four elements can collide-
for fire and water make steam-
a hot blanket of thick mist from
tea, hot springs, and boiling water.
When the conditions are just right,
the four elements can collide.
Fire (or heat) can liquify
earth, turning it into magma.
Earth and air makes swirling sandstorms-
tiny flecks that can cut through rock.
The four elements can collide,
chemical reactions like this.
Water freezes at thirty-two
degrees- the air has to be cold
enough to make water solid.
The four elements can collide.
On supposedly eternal shore,
steps purposefully wander as they did before not long ago
when existence swoop with the bow over strings-
its created harmony an unseen, camouflaged racket-
where trampled and washed sand
allowed more human traces - inexperienced and confident -,
unlike the possessive waves and foam
who's stones shall not be tainted by the joyful rays or incarnadine.
Memories, new chains, recall
a suave voice and an uncertain ( expected ardous), yet determined one
piercing the darkness; when torment inside and out
covered minuscule, clingy fragments of hope/optimism;
where rusty vision scrutinized distant gas spheres, contemplating.
When chocolate eyes gazed at the timid orb hiding its ablazed cheeks into azure - familiar scenery, unexpected mise-en-scène -
let an suppressed thought take over: they'll never witness nature's paintings again.
Over the brazen earth,
A breeze wafting gently,
Evokes sensual aromatic bursts,
Yet earthy by intent.
Clean fresh air rejuvenates.
World’s blanket of atmosphere,
Supplies the essential air,
So imperative for living.
Elixir of life everlasting,
Crystal clear incandescent water,
Fish, plants, animals, industry,
Survive because of water.
Smoke, an acrid smell,
Controlled fire is friendly,
Cooks, heats, burns fuel,
Fire incinerates our rubbish.
The grossest element earth
shapes mind body form,
which remains inert until,
magnetism conjures a storm.
The air we breathe,
a gift from God,
causes nodes to stir,
leaving childlike heart awed.
Fire heats, water cools,
generating a toroidal force,
which once divine aligned,
connects soul to source.
God is the magician,
who entwines elements four,
that joyful heart begs
love for an encore.
Blue marble of life
Never was in strife
Enter humans greedy, scheming
Leaving the Earth screaming
Invisible saviour and protector
Cries silently in horror
Ravages by Father time
Corrupting it from sublime
The life giving elixir
And ultimate thirst quencher
Wasn’t spared human greed
Hence, contamination was guaranteed
Playing with raging fire
Is the human desire
To burn the house
That’s hard to douse
Elements
Substances that change the amounts in thin fat layers..
They are substances that change by thinning and decomposition.
Elements known in the world..
With the amounts it thins and changes in space..
New elements await layers.
It combines with gases that enable the reproduction of elements.
Elements that affect temperature values..
It melts the warming of cold values.
Water and lava merge in the central position.
The existence of the atom in the center is realized.
It flows through the channels of the soil.
It usually oxidizes in plain areas where it waits.
For a complete chemical reaction
It needs some chemical elements, a catalyst
And a balanced chemical equation
Under a scientific theory , of course
But in this scientific and digital world
We use to forget to think scientifically or digitally
Instead of a scientific mind
We have cultivated a mind
Overwhelmed with selfishness , greediness and arbitrary
Ignoring the fact that
The world isn't bound to satisfy all our urges and yearns
But basing on the theory of Causes and effects
We get what we sow
Let's think scientifically or digitally as much as possible
And for the unknown let's leave it to our almighty god
