Earth wind and fire
I call upon your name
Take away these lonely tears
And burn them in your flame

I feel your presence nearing
As tears flow warm as steam
Earth wind and fire come
To steal me from this scream

Sacred soil of grounding
I call upon the earth
Take my tears as anchor
To hold me to my birth

Elementals of the air
Borne in flowing wind
Blow away these tears of grief
And cast away my sin

Fires raised by life's passion
Sealed into heats core
Sear away the trace of tears
To leave me whole and pure

Fire, wind and solid earth
I call your name in plea
Take away water's power
And come to set me free.



Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Auntie Kethp my absolutely favourite aunt, the one with the magic pen that writes exceptionally well. You know I love this, but then yes like mum I’m a little biased. Not because I wub you, but because I know really good writing when I see it, and this is it. Well written I love it, and yes the words are beautiful, as is the presentation. This is stunning and something very special. I'm printing this I love it, thank you xxxxx auntie Kethp,

I wub you xxx

Love and warm stuff
As always

A very thought provoking piece Kethry, and written superbly. I hope your prayers are answered! How wonderful it would be to have those hurts seared away and be set free from painful memories!

Keth darling soul sister and keeper of truths incandescent flame what can I say except this is awesome in it’s beauty and power this is definitely a Quest song, Patryce should sing this in book two, I can hear her uniting the twain with this

Superb writing with utterly beautiful lines of wonder, as always darling heart when you write the universe stands in awe and reads the words of brilliance

Oh and i love it utterly utterly love it

I always expect excellence when I open your poems... but sometimes, you exceed all expectations. *S* This is very powerful, Kethry, from first word to last. *S* Well written!
