Elements
Life is simple physics
We are part of the material universe
Like the elements we rise
Only as high as the mass
That pushes us up or floats
Below us like a raft
We like water or air or even fire
No more choose the path
We follow than a drop of rain
Chooses direction as it races
Across a car windshield
Or grain decides which way
To bend when the wind blows
Into or against
