The Elemental Masks

I put on the mask of blazing flames and saw,

Toasted marshmallows waiting to be consumed,

The fierce fire crackling at midnight,

And the idling embers fluttering to the ground.

I put on the mask of tree green and saw,

A mint green lizard emerging from a shadow beneath my feet,

The sharp blades of grass freshly cut,

And the emerald bulbs in a field slowly flowering for Spring.

I put on the mask of blue and saw,

A patient sky waiting for the evening to come,

The calm waves of the deep blue sea,

And the beautiful baby blue king fisher catching its dinner.

I put on the mask of air and felt,

The small blow to flicker a candle,

The gentle breeze of the night sky,

And the force of a helicopter coming into land.
