The fire that drives us
is the fire that burns us
and the fire that blackens our hearts

The earth that we stand on
is the earth that steadies us
and the earth that we fall on that breaks us

The water that cools us
is the water that slows us
and the water that drowns all our hopes

The wind that soothes us
is the wind that hinders us
and the wind that blows us off of our paths
