You Are Earth- Poem
By
You
are earth
Carrying
burdens of love, fear,
grief,
and loss – burying them deep and moving on.
Finding
joy within dilemma - a miracle of perception
Like
a strongly-rooted plant breaking through a rock
reaching toward the sun
You
are earth
You
are wind
Winding
through, around, and between life’s travesties.
Gently breathing hope and faith
Wrapping,
entwining troubled hearts, weaving circles
of love. Binding hearts threatened by blustery storms
Blowing
softly. Listening. Attentive to the rhythm;
your own and that of life
You
are wind.
You
are fire
Of
alchemy, life’s chemist. Combining pain, loss,
sadness, producing hope.
Destroying
pride, envy and hate. Melting hardened
hearts revealing softness and beauty beneath.
Dancing
with wind. Not understanding betrayal,
monotony - seeing life’s beauty in all efforts and dreams.
Abraham’s
fire – burning coolness.
You
are fire.
You
are water
Always
finds a way. Flowing silently, sifting,
shaping, rearranging. An artist never still.
Carried
on the wind, falling as rain, then nestled
deep within earth. Soothing trickles down a window pane. A cheery
stream or an
ocean great.
You
are water
Swirling,
stretching, vibrant Rakha. Reaching within
to strengthen every fibre of being.
Time
for love? Yes, of self, others and truth.
So
light, so pure, so powerful.
Feeding
the earth, taming the wind, cooling the fire.
The essence of life.
You are Rakha.
