1937. The Elements of Family

Mommy, Daddy,
Where do we
Come from?
You, our eldest,
Come from the magic
Sunlit dust
In the center
Of a redwood stand.
And little you,
You come from
The ocean spray
At the top of waves.
And me, Mommy?
You come from
The warm breeze
In June.
And you, our youngest,
Come from the spark
Of our home's hearth.
Together we are eternal -
Earth, Water, Air, and Fire.
