Elements in Winter

As the year turns to winter

The elements will change.

Soon, Earth, your flowers

Will sleep pleasantly,

While your trees lose their leaves.

Water, still you wake,

But you're frozen, too.

Look how you and Wind

Combine to make all this snow.

Together, this Winter is your child.

Fire, you're needed most

To bring warmth and light

To those surviving the cold.

For this time of the year

You're no longer a force to fear.

No matter how the season goes

The elements stay alive

To bring in their force.

Art is their force of nature

As they go again for another year.
