the elements bring endings

and then it starts again

the darkness comes in quietly

waiting for us to rest

hiding many secrets

intent cloaked in gloom

the flame can get excited some time

the sparks are lit in celebration

but the danger of a curious pyre

it always finds something to consume

the flow of water much like blood in the veins

will always be the beginning and end of life

the rains can cleanse

or they can drown

stones seem unshakeable

monuments of patience and strength

watch the mountains turn to dust

and you will know your time is up

roots are the bones of the earth

they will drag us down

we will decay long before the trees

they are watching and waiting

the wind whispers

making us fear the breeze

and beg the storm's mercy

until all traces of us are blown away

the light blinds us to its truth

calling brightness salvation

but it births many cruel shadows

and promises to save us from evil of its making
