The Elements
The world as we know it has a mysterious history
Before the plants, the animals, or we came
Where there existed only four forces who were quite elementary
Living distant lives, but connected the same
Each was a loner, living in a secluded home
Until that gleaming sunrise on that destined day
They all felt the urge to leave and to roam
Seeking another was a drive they couldn't disobey
They broke through the barriers; never previously dared
Just beneath the beautiful stars, high in the sky
Flew mighty Wind, with energy and life unimaginable
He blew down, hoping that nothing was awry
In this new territory where nothing was predictable
Fortunately, he met a maiden with whom he befriended
Water was she, tranquil and flowing smooth as a mirror
Together they laughed, and played, and pretended
Rain and maelstroms are what would now suddenly appear
A new bond was formed; the first friendship was declared
Out on the flats traveling quite slowly, yet with ease
Was Rock, with solid mind and untapped charm
He noticed that afar a blaze spread like a disease
Rock prayed that this being would mean him no harm
This blaze was Fire, who had confidence and power
Luckily, no conflict emerged, no hint of a debate
They discovered, in but a single and enjoyable hour
That swift flowing lava is what these two could create
Another bond was formed; once separated, now paired
Then, all of a sudden, and out of the blue
Rock and Fire went east, while
Wind and Water went west
On a journey meant to meet others, other friends who were new
They traveled for many hours with no sign of rest
As these four forces came into sight of one another
Each silently screamed deep down a cry of glee
Rock and Fire finally found a sister and a brother
And Wind and Water added two brothers to their family
Many stories were told as their lives were compared
Wind was a wild explorer, surpassing his zone of comfort
He had seen supernovas and gazed at galaxies galore
Rock was a structured leader; disorder he tried to avert
His had a desire for becoming wise that lived deep in his core
Water was a gentle soul; a true introvert in the years past
She broke through that shell, now flowing free as a river
Fire was a passionate force, with persistence steadfast
He had skills in fighting and a mind that was quite clever
As they knew each other better, their future was prepared
These elements were individualistic forces, yet still a whole
Traveling across the surface the world as they desired
Finding new struggles, yet meeting the ultimate goal
Which was to do work, but have fun that never tired
They stayed companions for what seemed like an eternity
Through the slight disagreements that eventually past
Living in the moment was a major necessity
To create those memories that were meant to last
From that destined day on, separate experiences were shared
