Seemingly stands still, forever does it hide.
A wise man once said:
Acts big and solid, moves slowly as time goes
on.
Not to fool with fire
But yet it does not show, what power lies inside.
For it acts asleep, during night and dawn.
Sometimes, it erupts and shows its true strength
Breaks and cracks, fury is unleashed upon the
land
You only need to travel a miles’ length
Or you will surely be dead
And only when you need is dire
Fire you can lit,
For warmth or comfort
But be warned you must cherish it!
And so many people conferred
To discover what earth does demand
This great power to the element
But it rarely is greedy, and it forgives us too
An element which can destroy
Mistakes we make are never seen
This element treated others like excrement
As life and other things use you to renew
Yes, of life, earth must be very keen
Earth creates growth, gives home to life.
An ability other elements only can strife
The wise old man made a decoy
For he was benevolent
And so the power of fire was void
Through the cracks and crevices it flows
A boy once asked air:
Through the trees, in the mountains it goes
How do you blow without a push?
Drifting, and falling downwards evermore
Air responded without a swear
Till it hits the solid floor
I do it with a swoosh
The boy glanced and said
Never the same yet never changes
Why is fire always mad?
Found far and wide, in many ranges
Air was wise and said, he is sad
It may be liquid drops you see
The boy did not understand
Or cold snowflakes on a frozen sea
Air was a wise teacher
But he could not explain
So many forms, and so many changes
To this creature
One to another and then to the next
How fire did get sad
Continually making exchanges
As this is still
So many possibilities you’ll be perplexed
A mystery how he went bad
All around us, everywhere we look
Ever existing, in every brook
