Earth is the hidden strength within me
The power that grounds and teaches patience
Comforting and protecting
The steadfast guidance I need
Air is the power that raises me
Cooling my skin with its gentle touch
Whispering it secrets in my ears
Tearing my sorrows from me
Fire is the life's blood that courses through me
Searing my veins with its flame
Scorching my soul with its heat
Turning me to ash so I can rise again
Water is the river that frees me
Forever the dreaming tide
The deep pool of hidden stories that I hold
Immersing me in the world beyond
Spirit is the one who binds me
Forcing me to see my true self
Teaching me
