grief fading

elements of mourning

By Misato LyPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

A I R

Long life bears slow death

loveliness is hard to breathe

two eyes lost in grace.

F I R E

Melancholy heals

when pains of starvation drip

like flame through mountains

E A R T H

Captured in grey dust

won't remember where I was

only when and why

W A T E R

Home is a fountain

reappearing in slow blinks

drained of all its youth

nature poetry
