Does fire ask what it is for <br /> <br />Until wood comes along and got singed <br /> <br />Neither does water when it sees smoke <br /> <br />From wood getting too close to fire... <br /> <br /> <br />A person comes and we got singed <br /> <br />Everything external to us is linked <br /> <br />Within us - earth, wind, water and fire <br /> <br />Precious elements which make up life... <br /> <br /> <br />Useless and useful, dangerous and <br /> <br />Functional - are you not for me? <br /> <br />Yes, the world is big - but you placed it <br /> <br />Within my palm - should I ask for more? <br /> <br />_____________________ <br /> <br />October 18,2013 - Bali Oasis<br /><br />Doris Cornago<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/four-elements-4/
