we are rooted
of earth, soil sand rock, ancient preserver, held deep and firm
warm loam odors, bodies inhaled, singing countless life variations
some long stilled, forgotten, some quick feeding new
we are filled
brushed by water, impressionist immerses cool blending colors
forms blurred soft, feeling eye-easy indistinct
to take as we will, to our fancy curved
we are transformed
steeled by fire, acid blue, rocket red boils down elements
slices forms to heat, then ash, fast gone
on choices slim to none, we are swept up
we are moved
borne on wind, reckless youth sweeps debris aloft
bears away what is loose, cleanses palates, chills blood
scours to bedrock, breathes renewal
we are change and
always the same
