Naiad

At high tide we met

You sat in the sand and smiled

Then I waved goodbye

Sylph

We found a new toy

Metal floating through our skies

Shall we spin a storm?

Oread

I am old and scarred

Yet time has not conquered me

To none will I bow

Salamander

It’s cold outside, child.

Come sit by me. Eat, sleep, dream.

In my warm embrace.
