Earth Air Water Fire

Grounded solidity rooted earth Breath continuous beautiful breath Ripples on lakes surface Embers sometimes burn on Sinking into soft silt Breeze carries me along Submerge safely sinking again Freed floating flames fanned Composition so clearly important Inhalation and exhalation squared Pitter pattering spotting pavements Smoke signalling something somewhere Texture felt through fingers Taste triggers lost memories Leaked tears traced lines Too much smoke kills

Well done, your focus on the fire element is compelling, one almost feels the choking sensation of the smoke as your poem is read D.

Thanks Wen, I wasn't really sure where this one was leading me til I was lead there. I think we can only know so much before we get consumed. Thanks for your comment as always x
