Elements



The fire of life
The wings of flame;
The wings of life:
A world’s hope in dying embers.
The life that engulfs;
The life that gives:
The burning light remains.


A world of sin
The world of darkness;
The world of hate:
Where hatred speaks for everything.
An envy of life.
An envy of power.
A darkness of evil,
Of fear, of hate
Reaching out to the last stone heart.


Fruit of death
The fruit of sin.
The fruit that takes.
Cold as stone, frozen as ice
As it takes the breaths of the world.


 The fire
The fire that destroys and kills
The fire that spreads fear
Searing and engulfing life
Burning till there’s life no more.

Though I am


Though I am old
I still search
In this world of doors.
Though I am young
I still search
In this maze of secrets,
In this undecided world.

The search


Long we have searched these high mountain tops covered in snow,
While the wind is strong and currents are slow;
High peaks rest here among the domes,
In what is now our icy home.
Through rough and calm we’ve endured long on our own,
Impatient for the time that goes,
And for how long can only the watchers know,

To wait, to search, to find the hope.

The sea

The sea is what it wants to be: a calm friend, a hungry wolf.
For the sea has power beyond us that we can only dream.
The sea can be a howling lonely scavenger or a joyful happy pup,
But whatever it is, it is a powerful force.
