Array ( [sid] => 24081 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Elements [time] => 2003-09-29 16:35:00 [hometext] => To all those who love nature, this is for you. Wrote this last year to try to describe the elements of nature. [bodytext] => The water
creeps along the shore like a silent thief
Blankets itself over the sands, if only for a while
The swirling whirlpool vortex beckons us
to get caught up in its depths
But the sea is a neverending song; it
drowns us in the beauty of its tune.

The wind
Curves gracefully through the forest trees
And cradles the autumn leaves with invisible
arms, hovering so slightly in the air
The zephyr moves with a sense of freedom; so self-assured, it blossoms into a hurricane
and sends through me a resplendent breeze.

For the beautiful divine exists all around us
It breathes from within me and you.

The fire
ignites to form a blazing kingdom
Heat searing from the rage of the flames, so furious
Hear him the roar; the spirit soars with a vengeance
And the phoenix advances, brushing off its ashes
So full of vigour, we burn at the dross
And the sweet holocaust signals our doom.

The earth
Feeds upon our footsteps with unwavering patience
Breathes from underneath but reigns as our mother
Forever silent, forever uncomplaining, forever valiant
Through the cracks in her show more clearly with time
The soil is too precious a thing to waste
But so generously is it provided, so easily we forget.

But the beautiful divine exists all around us
It breathes from within me and you.

The caverns echo to me their mournful woes
The cold of the dreaming does resound
But the secret never dies; it stays alive
Alive, hidden within the graffiti of the soul
And the beautiful divine breathes through us all
The luminous dark watching us
from the shadows. [comments] => 9 [counter] => 406 [topic] => 27 [informant] => Avarice_Riot [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => NaturePoetry )
