You are air,
The patchy sky filled with mosaics of clouds,
The wind that caresses the leaves in the ageless trees.
You are the firmament,
Laced with sprinkles of celestial sunrises.
The sun sets in your eyes.
The moon rises in your smile.
You are the infinite potential of infinite potential.
Spiritual,
Physical,
Mental.
The elemental exchange of a long-gone age.
Before you lie many roads.
Travel,
Embark,
Set sail.
Navigate the straits of your consciousness.
Wade in its translucent waters.
You are earth,
Giving birth to anything that the mind can fathom.
Moss-covered pebbles and patchy bark imprinted with maps of the cosmos.
Brilliant blossoms that fill the air,
Each with its own unique fragrance.
Towering mountains overlooking carved canyons and vast valleys,
Casting shadows upon the pulsing beat of life that springs forth imperceptibly from long-forgotten deserts yearning to live again.
You are water,
Roaring through underwater caverns.
Limestone rivers flowing just below the surface of visibility.
Ocean tides that batter the sunlit shore,
Pulling in all that crosses your path.
Drawn by the pull of the magnetic moon.
Your waves crest with echoes of wisdom.
Letting go,
You are swept away into the vast expanse of worlds seldom noticed.
Your energy is never wasted.
It's harnessed and redirected into that which has no name or definition.
Lakes with crystallized ripples ripping through every cell.
Pools that swell during the storms,
Rejuvenating the drought-stricken lands,
Replenishing and restoring balance.
You are fire,
Smoldering sparks scorching all that is no longer needed.
Embers of blazing bonfires carried on the wind.
A volcano draped in lava,
Leaving desolation in its wake,
Clearing the way for new life to appear.
Charred hillsides that hold the answers to mysteries yet to be unraveled.
Candlelight casting shadows on sheer white curtains at midnight.
You provide light on the darkest nights.
Starlight burning through innumerable lifetimes on its way to this one.
You are the sun signaling the dawning of a new era.
Footprints in the sand guiding you home.
