The fire swirled, curled and twirled
It danced, swam and swayed
The smoke copying as a silhouette
The phoenix flew

Under rocks, water flows
Carved with life, know one knows
Child sits, as moss grows
Gateway ahead, the darkness knows

The wind mumbled, grumbled and tumbled
It sang, danced and played
The oxygen taken with it
Swept through mountains and plains

Over rocks water gushes
Guided by life it rushes
Don’t underestimate for it crushes
Little things with no respect, it hushes
