Elements

In depths of earth, darkness hides

Cold and buried, hope subsides

Fires, fading embers and dimming lights

Lost are the sparks, into the night

Water trickles, a tearful stream

Reflections lost and shattered dreams

Dusted air carries these forgotten sighs

Sweeping whispering lies

As one the elements tell a story

In a world of bittersweet, sorrowing glory

Earth, fire, water, air

In perfect harmony but beyond repair
