\"\"Each feeling its power<\/span><\/p>\n

The knew that they could win alone<\/span><\/p>\n

For nothing surpassed the need for a solid foundation<\/span><\/p>\n

Earth was proud to be the support of all creation<\/span><\/p>\n

But when is as stagnant, cold, or thirst for life<\/p>\n

The absence of everyone only brought strife.<\/p>\n

But the wind, yes it knew it was most powerful of all<\/p>\n

For without being seen it could make great oaks fall<\/p>\n

But what else, once things were moved, did existence mean?<\/p>\n

There seemed to be a need for definition to the empty scene.<\/p>\n

Fire! Fire never questioned for a moment its supreme royal rights<\/p>\n

It could destroy and create, darken the day and light the night<\/p>\n

But when it smiled and turned to see validation<\/p>\n

Fear reigned and caused its might power full devaluation<\/p>\n

Water knew its calm demeanor and mighty power was created needs<\/p>\n

Without it nothing could survive, no growth would ever succeed.<\/p>\n

But as it evaporated into nothing, it knew it needed more<\/p>\n

All that it could was limited by acts it no ability to explore.<\/p>\n

As they faced one another, all capable, powerful, and unique<\/p>\n

They each knew that their best there was greater goal to seek<\/p>\n

They found their individual powers were always far enhanced<\/p>\n

When unity was the meeting place from which they all advanced.<\/p>\n
