of every passing 


we are 
fire and ash,
water and stone,
flowers and earth.

we are 
sons daughters
mothers fathers 

of every 
passing and ascent 

of night to 
day.

    I like that -
    "fire and ash,
    water and stone,
    flowers and earth."

    Rick: This reads quite well when read aloud, the rhyhm bouncing like a ball. I love how the elements transform into beings and time is structured generationally. A very magical poem.
