"How strange it is to be anything at all." --Unknown


Water
Look at me and I’ll
look at you. Drink of me and
I’ll drain you away.

 

Dirt
There’s a place where we
Can agree on what life is.
Haven’t found it yet.

 

Air
You say you breathe me
Maybe I am breathing you
But you make me cough.

 

Fire
There was a time when
I was meant to be here. Now
I’m just a cheap trick.

 

Rain
I cry so that you
Don’t have to. I die so that
You may die with me.

These are in part inspired by the (very) short "Nature is Speaking" films by Conservation International. Go check them out; they're really cool.
