Life's Quad

   Is there anything that we're not connected to?
All four of the elements, Sustain me and you.
The EARTH is like a cell in a giant hand,
that caresses us gently as we live on its land.
       The WATER is the conduit the fountain of life,
so refreshing but can cut the EARTH like a knife.
The AIR is free and it moves in the wind,
coming into our lungs over and over again.
       The FIRE the FIRE the ultimate force on this list,
it can be a destroyer or give us warmth to exist.
All four of the elements hold an individual beauty,
and as far maintaining life they're never off duty.
Stanley Victor Paskavich/Stantasyland
