Elemental Harmony

Ground shakes and rumbles with discontent and bitterness

Shakes buried roots and disturbs the gentle silence

Foundations rock as the wave of passion reaches ever closer

Whilst all around confusion reigns in ignorance

Whisper through the fringes of the forest of awareness

Gusting ever stronger as the clarity becomes real

Howling ever louder as the storm funnels ever closer

Whilst all around torment in all that they reveal

Embers flicker and ignite the flame of ruthlessness

Sparking into life they gain momentum of their own

Flames of torrid misconception raging ever closer

Whilst all around are burnt and scarred by pain unknown

Trickle in the stream cascades and rushes at the powerless

Torrent born emboldened in deep and darkened pools

Crashing powerfully on ears as the tide comes ever closer

Whilst all around are washed away like ever floating fools

Watching silently and fearfully as the elements collide

Minstrel plays his hand and deals in careful thought

He twists and turns in time with dancing shadows

Whilst juggling the answers he has sought

Feet glide and prance above the quickly shifting sand

With careful hands he throws another construct in the air

His sparkling smile to dowse the torch of discenchantment

To calm the tide he seeks the words with calculated care
