Fire, Stones and Water

“The elements of nature, we all need love and sometimes fear too“ Gun Roswell

Fire, Stones and Water

The fire, burning so brightly, warming body and soul, but also good for cooking all kinds of meals. But, treat it with much respect, as burned you will get if too close to it you stick your finger. Just admire it from a far and you will be fine as it is quite the element from the divine.

The stones, much like sticks, might break your slender bones. But, you can also use them to build so many a structures, which will stand the testament of time. The architecture also, from the divine or then some of it, may illicit, a smile, as someone had just a made a simple pile.

The water, the oldest balm of them all, the place, where we were all born. It is the essence of our survival, the stuff we are mostly made off, but also, it looks good. The colour, the waves, sometimes even watery graves. But fear not, and dare, to take a dive into the calming cool blues, with a multitude of hues it keeps our imagination alive as much as ourselves too.

that supports the bridge?”
Kublai Khan

Path of Stone

You may find the road ahead stony
Sometimes clean, sometimes moldy
But, if you ate your cup of minestrone
Then you’re strong, without a worry!

Treasure Stone

The secrets, from ages passed
Written, in the stone to last
Read it, really, really fast
Because it may end up
Another thing in the past

Simply Stones

I made a pile
A pile of rocks
Rocks cleaned clear
Clear as the day

Ancient Stone

Chiseled in stone
With fingers to the bone
By the ancient architects
Now left laying in neglect

Water and Stone

Fire and brimstone
Water and rock
Elements well known
So this,
Shouldn’t come as a shock:

Pour the water
On the fire
It will simmer down,
Eventually

Stepping Stone

A leap of faith in one go
Into the great unknown
Follow the grey brick road
To where ever it may flow

“Traveling – it leaves you speechless,
then turns you into a storyteller.”

Written in Stone

Left here standing
On this open landing
A church once filled with worshippers
Now heard only
A few lonesome whispers

The ruins of Acropolis
A place for fun, a place of knowledge
Decipher if you will
The old texts written with skill
Into to the old stones
Which no one owns
