Elemental Love

Our love is deeply rooted

in the ground, clutching the bowls

of the earth


Fertile soil bears a harvest,

Reaping that which was sown 

from coyness and mirth 


Our love is carried on a breeze,

a free spirit dancing on chinook

gusts of air


Travelling through the land

in every season, a relief

results from a prayer 


Our love burns like wildfire,

consuming all emotion in

a destructive blaze


Passions flare up from the ashes,

a single spark caused by

a sultry gaze


Our love flows down a river,

tumbling over rocks and pooling

in the current


Through the rapids it churns,

sinking in the eddies and

rising in the torrent


Like the calm before a storm

our love bides the time, waiting to

rampage across the land


Forces collide and wrestle with

the elements, only to submit

to nature's command.
