I get the chills when I read a poem that touches something deep. Today I'd like to share a wonderful poem written by Beatrice, who is 14. She has an amazing talent and this poem came out of reflection on the four elements. I have read this aloud to myself several times, there is such meaning in it, maybe the Eyes will speak to you too ... Element Eyes Image by Azriel Cross Poem from Beatrice: There are four oracles who all live on a place called The Beginning of an End. They are the Elemental All-seeing Eyes and a person could always claim they were their friend. Ask the Eye of the Fire and it would reply: find your heart and soul, let them burn bright and aim for a goal. Talk to Water's Eye and it will say: feel your calm and flow, feel your wishing grow. Remark to the All-seeing Eye of the Earth and it could tell you: search for your place of comfort and love, your place of hearing and above. Speak to the Air of the Eye and it might comment: gather your freeness and breath, gather your energy and death. And then, with all that in mind, you board your boat and sail away from the Beginning of an End, feeling like you have made amend.
