A cosmos

Earth

Like the ground beneath her feet

she holds everything to her

and has a certain pull.

She is sturdy, unafraid,

and solid in her resolves.

When she walks

her feet fall with purpose

and her eyes reflect the brown of the earth

encompassing everything else around her.

Fire

She is fierce

and she immolates herself with the love

that burns bright

and deep inside her.

But don’t you dare cross her the wrong way

because she’s a volcano waiting to erupt

and no being has the power to escape

the embers of her fire.

Water

She flows

soundless but dedicated

towards her purpose.

She accommodates

everything and everyone

and always gives, gives, and gives.

The tears

that flow from her eyes

tell the stories of scars

left not on her skin

but much deeper

on the riverbed of her soul.

Wind

She flies

with the reckless abandon

of a howling breeze

like a red autumn leaf

having no sense of destination.

She is free in her element

unchained by the sands of time

always heading forward

gliding in the winds of change.

Sky

Her eyes

They reflect the endless expanses

of the sky and the celestial bodies it holds.

You could behold the sky full of stars

in her beautiful orbs

which give you a peek into her soul

laid barren and unmasked

She is endless

She is immune.
