     Four Elements

Of deaths relent, steadfast
Times wrinkle proceeds.
On dust, iron and ore:
I would plead,
upon my knees:
Chaff and bruised,
Till crimson blood
would weep.
This petition, tward heavens
glory; prayers I bequith:
Earthen grave, restrain,
thy fingers touch.
Whence, upon thy scroll of
death,my name,refrain to read.
For these, cherished, granted
years allow to linger.
   That I could hold
hallowed, her sacred earth.
   That her breath of life
could, sustain my soul.
   That quenched, her waters
could fill my thirst.
   With fire of stars, I
could,shed light upon her night.
   Thus truth within eyes behold
With prayers alongside my bride
to grow old...
