Poem

Four Elements are there. Eternal rock to life gives birth Here stands Earth --

Mountains rise to pierce the sky.
The horizon's rulers, challenged but briefly,
Never defeated.  Earth has risen so
Ere any memory, and still shall rise
When all else has passed, faded, and gone.
Beneath our feet, above our heads,
In soil or diamonds, still it is there.
Earth surrounds us always, our cradle and grave,
Dust to dust -- though lives may end
Life is renewed, through Earth's agency.
Thus we endure, through fire, flood, and storm,
Through fear and despair, Earth remain strong.
Creatures of clay, we may be molded, or killed -
But not destroyed.  Earth endures unchanged,
Through all such attacks, strengthened by trials.
Giver of life, foundation of the world
Our one sure support
Earth stands firm
And stands ever.
