Old Poetry Found Again

I wrote this a couple of years ago, but found it again just this past weekend while going through some of my files. Okay, I'm no bard, but it's a start.

Elemental Truths

The salt of all the primordial seas
is present still inside of me
The first waters that fell as rain
flow now eternally through my veins

The very earth upon which I stand
is one with the substance of my hands
My creative thoughts do ebb and flow
as air's gentle winds upon me blow

Sometimes I am fire, a formidable force
as tides of emotion through me course
Other times I am gentle as the starlit sky
to whose awesome beauty I raise humbled eyes

Of this holy Earth I am but a small part -
may its rhythms beat forever within my heart
