Writing the Elements ( Air and Water )
This is my first of two hubs I will post, each containing two elements, paired with a song from Thrice's "Alchemy Index".
Please click play on the video above each one before you begin to read it. I feel they convey the element through sound so well. They aren't actual videos, just the songs I picked.
Once again, I am experimenting with form, feeling, and now, adding music to my writing. Feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks :]
The Alchemy Index - AIR
Winds are whispering
Sweet nothings are dealt
Carried by something
Not seen, only felt
Wings glide across time
Life breathes and develops
Pass into skyline
Atmosphere envelopes
Breeze toward the sun
Adrift into clouds
Float beyond ocean
Condensation surrounds
Not ablaze
Not flowing
Not crumbling
Simply…
Being

The Alchemy Index - WATER
Dive under the surface
of cool, blue hydration
Descend, finding purpose,
escaping flotation
Lungs filled with water,
were lungs meant for air
Poseidon can’t enter
into human affairs
Attempting to swim,
as you presently drown
Giving up, giving in
to the ocean’s renown
Ice created...
when frozen
Destroys flame...
by collision
Earth softened...
absorption
When air enters...
ascension
