"Birds In Flight" (Born of Fire Earth Water Air)

Four wondrous creatures of flight,
each one; as the four elements.
Fire ~ Earth ~ Water ~ Air.

Out of the "Fire" of the womb
where heartbeats began,
where procreation had a hand.

Out of the "Earth",
of a gathering of grasses,
of an egg from a cozy nest
so warm, so small.

Into the "Water"they paddled,
so tiny swimming there.
Until they grew strong in wing.
 
Then one day, the "Air" above
called to them from on high,
and they were asked to fly.

Above the earth into the sky,
The currents drifted there,
beckoned them to soar.

There grew a great golden light.
shining upon amber drifts of clouds,
 Carried upon currents of Air
Warmed perfectly by the Sun

They were lifted on high
To play amongst the
wisps of golden clouds
the rains had left behind.
