“Elements”

Elements powers
Rulers of this world
Protectors and predators
Of all those who inhabit the earth

These forces
Of earth
Fire
Wind
Water
And spirit
Effect us all in more ways
Then we could ever imagine
For they not only live within the world
But within each of us as well

Each of them
Live inside us
Dispersing their qualities
Throughout our daily chores
From the slightest act of walking
To the greatest act of all
Love

Earth
Stones
Grass and trees
Mighty strength
Held out for all to see

Shaking our worlds
Bring  you to your knees
The earth resonance’s
With the beating of your heart
When you see the one you love

Fire
Passion
Burning bright
Guiding us forward
Through the darkness within

The driving force
Passions will
Fueling our lives
Bringing meaning to it all
For without it we would see no light
Thus we shall surely fall

Wind
Time
Slowly moving
Onward all alone
Through life’s many chasms

The minds dilemma
On which road to choose
Left or right at the fork
A decision must be made
Before time passes by
Letting the winds sweep
Away all chances for love

Water
life
Calling us
To its shores
Crashing against the shore

The element of life
Without it all would perish
Purifying the body and mind
Just as love keeps us alive
Purifying our hearts and souls

Spirit
Unseen
Guiding force
Protecting us all
With  its loving embrace

Feelings of joy
Surrounding our souls
Keeping our faith
Where there is not to be found

Love is  fragile
The slightest thing
Can put everything out of balance
So it is necessary to maintain
This balance
For without it
Everything is lost

So it is seen
That love can not only
Be known by the
Senses of man
But by the elements
Of the very world itself
For love is not but a single entity
But rather It is the
embodiment all things
It has been that way since the beginning
And will continue to be that way
beyond the end of time
for love is eternal

It's too bad I'm not as wonderful a person as people say I am, because the world could use a few people like that.
I've learned that even when you th

I thought you did quite well on the poem. I have seen better, but the way it was written did fancy my liking.
Well done.  

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

Somewhere out there a cow is laughing at you

Hey  

This is a really philosophical piece. It really goes into what love is about. Mind you, when i read your first few lines, Captain Planet came to mind..lol  

Thanks for the read.
