My Four Elements

You are my Air,
blowing gently, urgingly
across watercolor patterns
on a clear, cool lake.

You are my water beneath,
revealing the night’s stars
and the moon,
while fish swim and breathe below.

You are my Earth, my rock
upon which I place my feet
to make and live
my Life.

You are my Fire,
my single burning Ember,
causing my heart to soar
with You, my All,
through this God 
and Goddess named
Everything.
