The Gateway To Infinity

If your heart is not pure my flames will burn you until you taste
only ashes

The fire is my friend

Should you fill my ears with lies my breath will blow
away the ill winds of your deception

The wind is my friend

Should you try to own me or possess me I shall become transparent
To your eyes I will appear as a mere shimmer,
a flamingo feather floating away into a violet sky

The air is my friend

Should you break my heart, the birthing waters will flow through
the cracks of my brokenness, washing away the blood of my wounds

The water is my friend

Should you betray your promises, turning earth to liquid with the instability of your moods, I will turn back time and plant seeds in that earth, birthing a tropical garden of unimaginable beauty

The earth is my friend

Should you try to nail me to the cross of your suffering I will break free and as you look upon my fleeing form you will look back upon that moment in time and wonder if you ever really saw me at all

Should you choose to save yourself, should you welcome and receive the love I offer you I will stand before you and behind you, beneath you and above you. I will shield you with the mighty strength of my belief in you and with the power of all the elements of my being

You will feel yourself reborn in earth, water,
air, wind and fire and my gift to you will be
the Gateway to Infinity.
