Fifth Element

That vessel formed from water and earth?
Air fanned the fire that gave it birth.
Then something came and filled me up
until I overflowed my cup
and flowed to other lands and climes––
spilling words to flow in rhymes,
verses, stories, volumes and
fabrications of mind and hand
that created each further world
that has continuously unfurled
from what came after the birth
of my body spawned by water, earth,
fire and air––something anew
born out of that primordial goo
that gave birth to all the rest,
then stirred me from the natal nest
with the blessed germination
of sparks of imagination
that infused each element
with spirit that was heaven sent.
What gave us words and poetry
was the element that gave birth to me.
