Souls attract their own design

The world is so much simpler than we can imagine.

Earth, the ground
we feel free to walk upon
is content to carry the burden
of our steps in battle or in song.

Air, the substance
we breathe in hoping to sustain life
flows easily within us and violently
without us
perhaps it can sense our strife.

Fire, the fear
the passion that seeks to claim us
wields the power
in the least of its might to destroy us

Water, the seeker
and our souls attract their own design
only when they flow unaltered
never when their paths are lined.

Insightful indeed Pierre. Everyone's life is full of people they meet everyday. Some we take in, a vast majority walk on by. We don't feel anything but those that seem familiar or peak our curiousity, we stop and with animal curiousity, we allow our senses to disect the feeling of experiening their whole. This is when we take them in, want to know more and return that curious spark. Relationships are built then. As we age, we hone these feelers and come to grips with the design and it gives is more worth a little more each time. Love causes scars during some of our errors but we should never give up. That person with the same spark is waiting for the same as we. To end the search before we get the treasure we were born questing for...is a fatal end to love. We can't give in to the scars of yesterday but we can secure tomorrow for the bliss of finding that treasure. I'm there now. Thank you for an emotional poem that pushed me to animate love's journey Pierre. This was a bouyant cause for living and reason to love.

Bless you my dearest friend.

..indeed one always attracts the same magnetic qualities..like always attracts like, otherwise a handful of sand could never accumulate together.the one who is like you is naturally attracted to you and vice versa. Yup, that be the truth!

Superb piece Pierre..
Oh I DO love your work..it's profound,wondrous and soooo gentle.
