Respect for the Four Elements

Sipping water drop by drop,

The elixir of life will never stop.

–

A river swells by heavy rain,

A flood brings many a pain.

Inhaling, exhaling the air day by day,

Oxygen filling one’s lungs all the way.

–

Hearing heavy winds howling,

Protected from falling trees by housing.

From caveman’s fire to our barbecue,

Never having raw food to chew.

–

Firemen rushing like diligent ants,

At the scene of the fire in fireproof pants.

The soil feeding us for thousands of years,

Early sprouts chasing away winter fears.

–

A landslide’s menacing roaring,

Too late to save one’s breathing.

Take care,
