The Sign Poem by Storm Pedersen

The sign of existence
Is the sign of laughter
Coming from ones’ self

The sign of fire
Is the sign of danger
Coming from thines’ burning body

The sign of life
Is the sign of ones’ tears
Coming from their overwhelming sadness

The sign of water
Is the sign of healing
Coming from ones’ broken body

The sign of seeing
Is the sign of ones’ sight
Coming from their eagerness to see this world

The sign of air
Is the sign of mortality
Coming from one whom can’t live forever

The sign of maturity
Is the sign of a person
Coming and soon leaving with knowledge
They must face their own faults and mistakes
