Elements - 1. Water

This is the first in a series of poems about the different elements of Ancient Magic. This will, eventually, tie in to my Harry Potter fanfic :P

WATER

(An excerpt from the journals of Rishala Pwate'er)

 

 

Still, Quiet, Calm.

Burbling, Wandering, Whispering.

Roaring, Crashing, Breaking.

All these and more are the properties of Water.

It sings as it ripples over rocks in the river,

Growling as it pounds the shore in a storm.

Calm, yet Chaotic.

Beautiful, yet Terrible.

Whether glistening in a calm lake,

Or churning in a turbulent sea,

Water represents that which is in all of us.

Anger and Love,

Passion and Tenderness,

Stubborn, Patient.

 

It can take years to change the landscape,

Can destroy a city in a matter of minutes.

Whether the deafening roar as it pours over a cliff,

Or a soothing pattering under a light summer's rain,

Whether the unbridled destruction of the water, disturbed into a tsunami,

Or the gentle caresses of a healing soak in the silence,

Water is one of the most versatile of the elements,

Full of the power for destruction, also the well-spring for all life.

But, what about water, the sustainer of life, the nourisher? Or water, the shelter for marines? Resplendent in all its majesty is it not the soft snow coat of the winter and yet, deadly sharp icicles of hanging death? Or perhaps, it is the smokey smog and cloud, formless wanderer of the vales and hills, a vagabond! What is Water?
