Bora born
Elements _
One by one the message came
a sense common in recall
of earth, water, wind and fire
and a love that binds them all.
Topsy turvey in endless
spin, to roam through the heavens.
A jewell in creation's work
in need of some protection.
The wind carries the message
for fire creatures we all be
made of the earth from stardust
longing for the deep blue sea.
They watch our need to create
and then wilfully destroy.
Our future looks back at us
in disgust at what we do.
We steal from our own children
of a future far less cruel.
Fire creatures have lost their spark
to machines combusting fuel.
Pull back a bit and listen
close, to what we say to you.
It's not your right guardian
to destroy this Eden too.
You are here to protect this
place, it's how you fit in though
as sentient beings you have
choice, take care in what you do.
Light beings of dazzling beauty
within whom the life force flows.
Tender thoughts of life _ love willed
attention drawn _ as mind slows.
You are the fifth element
to embrace the other four
life to love without limit as
tungsten angels watch in awe.
