Elemental Songs

Water Song:

It seems the flood

the over-flowingness

Is not to be contained,

Fixed and predictable by boundary.

“I am she.”

The river running.

And so she is.

Wood Song:

It has the song of water

&

The song of water flowing .

Wind

&

Next door’s Poplar tree.

Earth Song:

Stepping closer to the edge

So the heart runs faster,

Solace and empty hands.

The gradient arcs outward

Tight stretching the muscles,

Transforming in the unfolding.

Fire Song:

Stone Being giving birth to the new

Twist from one to other

Separate to expectation,

Then burn the barns

Trash the crops

Make your new home, home.

Air song:

Wherein the tenderness,

The grace of person

When no divide exists?

Slow standing, still breathing

Counting the pinpricks of light-

Winter’s unwinding tokens fall.
