Rush, rush, never stop.
Singing, heal with every drop.
Twist, bend, not a trace,
still, nothing can erase.

Can’t look back, will not turn.
Never cease, only burn.
Gypsy flame, mesmerize,
oven spit, tantalize.

Secret, magic, fairy rings,
make believe elven wings.
Hiding in the forest green,
dreaming with my friends unseen.

Music notes, free and wild.
Gentle breeze, maybe mild.
Soaring with my heart so strong.
Wingless flight, burst with song.

I have always loved the elements of nature (water, fire, earth, and air), and that is what inspired me to write this poem.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
