Elemental Knowledge

I know you as I know the wind;
Occasionally obscure,
Sometimes softly sensual,
Always, ardently alive.

I know you as I know the sea;
Boundlessly beautiful,
Shores seductively stirring,
Ever, endlessly enchanting.

I know you as I know the sun;
Faithfully forever,
Saffron skies suggestive,
Warmly, watching wise.

I know you as I know the earth;
Mystically majestic,
Sheltering safely, stated,
Lastingly, loving life.
