Blends Of Air And Fire Wind And Earth. Poem by RIC BASTASA

in this corner
is this fountain
water spurts as
we gaze
and birds hover
and stop here
for a drink on
the peaceful part

i sit fronting it
under the shade of
the willow tree
listening to the
song of water blending
with the passing wind
creating in me
a chorus of fire

i am between
your heaven and earth

man: the center of
this universe
the listener
of your heave and
hell

spurts of humanity
birds hover and stop
here, for a drink of
the peaceful water

blends of air and fire
wind and earth.
