Only if you let me sleep

She smiles,

 and gives me a wink.

Hand is hiding behind her back,

 and I am sure a few fingers are crossed.

Sigh.

I don't usually play these tricks,

 but I am tired.

"There are five elements.

Easiest to show is air.

 Only needed to be added to water."

I let a cloud grow.

"Earth is the next.

  She accepts the gift."

Now I am pushing it.

I feel tired.

"Time is one forgotten.

  Always waiting."

I need to sleep,

 but I know she won't let me.

"Fire is often mistaken."

I let light shine.

Rushing things,

  a plant grows.

"All of this is needed."

She curls beside me.

Smiles,

  and says,

"Time for a nap."
