The Elements


Like the wind,

     Let this connection flow naturally

     Naturally in tune with each other

     Other storms envious of the simplicity

     The simplicity of our breeze's grace

     Gracefully rolling through time

     Time is no competition for us

     Us as in we, a team

     A team under the creation and control

          of no one but God because

          our connection is religious

     Religious, we are faithful

Just like the wind

 

Like the rock,

     Let us build mountains

     Mountains too high to climb by negativity

     Negativity may try but that's why we move

     Move and erode to even higher places 

     Places that weather away bad tracks and traces

     Traces caught by the low lives

     Lives that envy the reliability of our foundation

     Foundation where we've built who we are

     Are we a model for all beings?

     Beings that see us as goals because

         no matter how many times we're

         stepped on, together we roll on

     Abundant, we are continuous

Just like the rock

 

Like the water,

     Let us be beautiful and clear

     Clear and on one accord

     According to our own desires, we flourish

     Flourish to restrain or rebirth life

     Life which we give each other in face

     Faces that tell a story of triumph

     Triumphant against man-made prohibitions

     Prohibition meant to stop, hold, and control us

          because a love as deep as ours is unattainable by all

          we are unrestrainable and peerless in intention

     Mysterious, we are above understanding

Just like the water

 

Like the fire,

     Let the desire to be together blaze

     Blaze in inextinguishable flames

     Flames that rip and run through my mind

     My mind victim like Daniel to the lion

     Lion roar and I'll stand by your side

     Your side where the creator design mine

     Mine as in my being

     Being that there is no stopping

     Stopping the beautiful destruction we have

     Have and hold dear to our hearts

          because they intertwine

          to become one

      Lethal, we are pursuant

Just like the fire
