The Elementals

This I wrote as a prelude to a story that disappeared down the lane of Could-have-been.

One breath of the night wind is all we need to cure this fever.

One drop of moonlight can lend us energy.

One swim in the Night, we will emerge

 

One touch of cold water refreshes us.

One blade of the greenest grass will feed our hunger.

One flight in the Day, we are at the height of our strength

 

One star will replenish us.

One glimpse of the emerging sun will lend us hope.

One caress of Dawn and we will come and awake you.

 

One wisp of the evening breeze will give us strength.

One look at the disappearing sun will awaken us.

One step into the Dusk, we rise as strong as ever.
