Elements Within

A series of four haikus, each symbolic of different qualities of the human spirit.

Earth
Rooted to the ground
A tree that changes color
As life’s seasons shift

Air
Free-blowing breezes
Sweep bundles of leaves away
Clearing a new path

Water
Oasis within
Sparkling in the desert’s heat
Tranquil and serene

Fire
Spark in the shadows
Blazing bold and burning bright
Flames should never die
