Free Day: I Want to Write about the Elements

The July 21, 2013 prompt for "Blogging Circle of Friends Prompt Forum"  is
Free Day. I chose the July 18, 2013 prompt Which of the four elements (fire, water, earth, air) best represents you?

Which element represents me?
Am I fire?
Am I water?
Am I earth?
Am I air?
Which element am I?

Could I be the fire
that gives life and destroys,
that cooks our food,
that burns our cities,
that turns the veils of dogma to ash?

Could I be the water
that creates and annihilates,
that quenches our thirst
that floods our lands?

Could I be the earth
that gave humanity birth,
that grows our crops,
that hides the bodies of our dead?

Could I be the air
that allows us to breath,
that is produced by our plants?

I am a molecule of snow,
a molecule of water
frozen by the breath of winter.
