The Elements

The fire consumes our souls
The wind spreads the fire
The earth catches the sparks
The water destroys the funeral pyre.

Gold

By your shine, you are gold, no matter what you do
That is why somber elements always pry on you

Man

From base elements
A living soul was molded.
From this misty dust
The mother of the living
Was formed of his flesh and bone.

Escape icy elements  

Ruby red warm fire  

Embracing the home sweet home  

Illuminating loves light

Premium Member An Embrace

After the fact,
	a crucified Christ 
	in the arms of friends,
	a composition of
	interwoven elements,
	an embrace.

lighthouse with lifesaving rays...

Two Opposing Elements....

Elements of light
elements of dark
walking magnets
attracting like sparks

Your true nature
your true fire
what do you attract
what do you inspire.....

Premium Member Thought of the day

organic form asserts its need
partaking of the elements 
there is of course no harm in this 
provided we be void-centric
radiating light, drenched in bliss
Form: Rhyme

Paintings

Paintings,
Artistic renderings,
Purposefully portray elements.
Pleasure, surprise, sorrow, anticipation
Reciprocate.

Premium Member Gratitude

push on
with vigour
yet gently
that the void
breathes easy

tread softly
on Mother Earth 
ever grateful
to her elements
loaned to us

Elements of Love Poetry In Motion

Cluttered endeavor's raise voices
        In desperate fettered chaos...
           Elements of love open,
                  Laughing in lofty muteness

misty morning fog
weeping willow’s silent wail ...

Sweet Night Music

The melody of the night,
The songs of the elements,
The rhythm of the awakened,
Door to mystery.
