&quot;Don&#039;t gain the world and lose your soul....wisdom is better than silver or gold.&quot; <br /> <br /> &quot;You can always close a book, but you can never close the mind of a writer.&quot;


The Sun smiles and tells a story
that no one has heard before,
but it doesn't have to be hidden,
or forgotten anymore.

The sea, wind and sky
were together as a whole.
The mountains, plains and deserts
were all part of the same soul.

The fire, rain and snow
came with all their power.
The lightning and the thunder
became frozen before the hour.

The trees, bushes and grasses
All held their mighty stance.
The birds, flies and fishes
were all given the chance.

But the Earth was meant to change,
so the Sun had to too.
And she forgot all she'd seen
And all she had been through.

But when the wind blows just right,
and when the waves calm in the sea,
The Sun remembers the beauty
and she shares her memory.

&ldquo;Art is a human activity whose purpose is the transmission of the highest and best feelings to which men have attained.&rdquo;

A very vivid depiction of the passage of time. I especially liked the the syntactic parallel phrases "the sea, wind and sky", "The fire, rain and snow"

The rhyme "power" with "hour" is phenomenal. Due to the nature of the slant rhyme, it sped up the pace, increased the suspense.

&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;

Woah I love this you're very talented

Thanks for the feedback - albeit a while back. This is really good! I like the personification of the elements and it sounds kinda like a fairy tale/myth. It's cool.

I absolutely adore it! I've never read the elements personified all at once before. Lovely, keep writing. P.S Thank you for my feedback on 'Caged' as well =]

This is really good! It seemed to me very fable-ish like the stories of how the opossum go tits tale or why the spider spins its web. Thank you also for what you said about one of my poems!
