Dear kind Air,
For me, you are always there.
Your playful touch lifts my hair and caresses me;
As you give precious oxygen from within thee,
So that I may continue to live and breathe,
And from you I shall never take my leave.

Next to Fire I do turn,
For I am not afraid to burn.
You can bring pain and strife,
But you can also bring warmth and life.
You can help me rise once more,
By giving me strength and warmth within my core.

Now, to sweet Water, I do go,
To erase my fears and my woe.
I'll wash away my sadness through your cool embrace,
And find strength from the rushing rapids against the problems I face.
And since I left you with my fears,
I will not succumb to them with any tears.

To gentle Earth, I next look to,
For your plentiful gifts are more than a few.
You shelter animals with your trees and dens,
Trying to protect them from even the cruelest of men.
We call you "Mother" because of your nuturing nature,
But you are also a maiden, with beauty so pure.

Finally to Spirit, the last but not least,
For you give life to every man and beast.
In your realm, no soul is too big or too small,
For you, great Spirit, govern them all.
To all minds you try to give peace,
From the beginning of their lives to the moment they cease.

To all the elements, I thank you each,
For all your aid in the goals I must reach.
You keep the planet and everything working together,
You make nature and its beauty even better.
Though not all people appreciate your greatness,
I know you are the work of a divine god or goddess.
