The Human Body

Each poem is dedicated to one of the four classical elements

Inhale and exhale.

Savor the life-giving breath

From birth until death.

Oh, Mother of all.

Our bodies and their substance

Stem from her bosom.

Pumping through our veins.

All around us, yet precious.

Nature’s catalyst.

Feel the warmth inside.

A person’s enduring flame.

Remember, you live.
