Earth
Strong stable land of strength
Reaches high above it all
Born to shake and collapse to the floor
Water
Tides and waves
Use to float with glee
Drags civilians down to the depths
Air
Glides dips swirls flicks
Leafs swim in harmony
House lying waste miles away
Fire
Blazing passion to inspire
Man’s greatest achievement
Burning bones by the millions

You blink
Once
Than once again
I can tell
Not much goes on in you head
You move your fins
Back and forth
Never thinking
About anything else
Do you miss the time
Some are more violent
Than a bloodthirsty tiger
The more you suppress it
Try to put it back into its cage
The more it fights back
Growls at the top of its lungs
Flashing colors light the sky
Staring at the clock waiting on
The clock ticks and tocks
One year can be everything
Staring at the clock waiting on
Resolutions passed back and forth

WOW! I just realized how you separated each line with different emotions: creation vs. destruction, light vs. dark . . . What a beautiful poetic structure!
