wild  water  earth  air and two fires
wild woman wilful in wild sun

warmth loves  water
water loves chill 

together
seeps deeper
takes tease 
surrenders

boulders turn stiff necks
tough trees grow slow from rock seams
breeze leans leaves
toward what can be

all surround is curiosity
all surround is
increase and vegetable quantity
is mineral gravity
and undisturbed

 silence astounds
turns attention

pristine spellbinds
human mind forgets wounded mindless earth
beholds what could have been

poor humans who often think but do not leap to be
