We Are the Elements

We are the elements,
just the four of us.
Fire,
with a burning heart.
Water,
kind and soft.
Earth,
almost stable.
and Air,
strong and happy.

but Earth is gone,
disappeared during a quake.

not much has changed,
but everything has.

the Fire is fading
burning out.

Water and Air have come closer,
descending into a fog.

and Earth is returning,
s l o w l y.

there was a disaster,
but it has started to fix itself.

we are coming back together,
the elements in harmony,
once again.
