Pyr, Hydro, AEther, Gaia
What Does Each Element Do?
Pyr-
Greek for Fire and Light,
Fire gave our ancestors Sight
Consume the vile here.
Hydro-
Greek for Water and Life,
From the sea new being springs,
Purify all here.
AEther-
Greek for the air above,
Higher than clouds and rainbows,
Give new life the will.
Gaia-
Greek for Earth and birth,
Renew all things we make foul,
You are All-Mother.

Hello everyone.
I don't mean to overdue the Greek imagery of this challenge, but I had an inspiration last night while dreaming. I wanted us to understand and pay homage to how the ancients viewed these 4 great elements.
While fire consumes, water cleanses, air gives new will, and Gaia replenishes. Unlike today where we view destruction as inherently bad, the ancients saw it as a purge. They saw it as a natural order.
I hope you enjoyed it. I certainly enjoyed writing it. :) :)
