Elements

Water,
glistening,
swirling.
Light shining through every surface,
cracking at the bottom.
When frozen,
she's fierce,
trapped in time only to rebirth
and open its whirlpool eyes.
Connecting all of us
falling in an infinite loop,
only to subside,
quietly.

Air,
wild,
calm,
warm.
Filling your lungs with every last bit of its,
nothing.
Harsh,
soft,
essential,
destructive.
Giving every single one of us life,
without a single gain.

Fire
A creator,
a destroyer,
burning everything we know and love,
but only to make room for others.
Fighting with water in our eyes.
Dancing with it in his own.
The heat,
provides.

Earth
The balance of all the elements,
and still the most powerful.
shielding us,
and what do we say to that?
War,
Genocide,
Pollution,
we do all of this on our mother's hands,
giving us no reason to call her,
Home

  • I must forget this dream


    I close my eyes as the belligerent monster pounces on me.

    The disgusting munching sounds as the monster tore the flesh into shreds woke me up.

    The night forest fades and the pail morning light emerges.
