Earth
It's terra firma
Home to homo sapiens
Life as we know it
Water
It can get you wet
Hydrogen and oxygen
Need it when thirsty
Fire
Touch it and you burn
Fueled by natural gas
Needed to cremate
Air
It needs to be pure
Run out of it; you are dead
Best when inhaled fresh
Space
Ever expanding
Holding everything together
Can I have mine please?

Excellent. These can become addictive, but you are a thoughtful and imaginative writer and I look forward to more.
Tightly written and deep in place. I loved this collection! what are you going to write on next?
Thanks Gil. I have a few things up the sleeve, All fun stuff though!
thank you Sir, since we all need space from time to time, i thought that ending may just work!
