Valleys of Mountains
Intimated:
Snow-white layers
Drifting
Below and behind
Gray-blue ridges.

Sprays of Water
Rainbowed:
Shafts and splay
Reflecting
Off and around
Waves and waterfalls.

Shifts of Wind
Unimpeded:
Typhoon or zephyr
Passing
Over and by
Everything solid.

Beauty of Fire
Enhanced:
Crackle and pop
Reshaping
Within and without
Sticks and stones.

Seeds of Seasons
Justified:
Stems and boughs
Extending
Under sun or cloud
Blossoms and leaves.

Children of Mind
Bamboozled:
Myths and legends
Explaining
Over and over
Every miracle.

Specks of Dust
Dispersed:
Life and death
Confirming
Ever and ever
Eternal now.
