The Elements Dance - The Coming Times

The Coming Times

The Elements Dance

And I notice how much of the globe is water

More Water than Earth

Much more Water than Earth than I had realized

And now I see that the oceans are agitated

Their waves are high

Water is moving!

She is dancing with excitement!

For Water will be the first to be set free

And Water joyfully leaps about

The middles of the ocean especially are cheerful

And are allowed to abandon themselves to their joy and to their dance

And I see that this has a ripple effect

As the movement within the center of the oceans

Ripples outwards and to a lesser degree reaches the ocean shores

But it is not frightening

No, not at all

In fact, many are thrilled by the weather

I see young men out with their surfboards

Joyfully playing in these waves

But now the waters from the very deep of the ocean are beginning to join in

They too participate in their newfound freedom of movement

They too participate in their dance of liberty

And as the waters of the ocean deep dance

The ocean itself seems to rise

And now it would seem that the ocean center

The whole ocean center from top to bottom and from bottom to top

Is dancing as one

Its self-consciousness is evident

As in unity, it performs its dance

And again the ripple effect takes place

But now the waves are much higher than before

Water reaches the shore with much more exuberance

With joyful exuberance she reaches and greets the land

Almost as if calling the land to join with her in her playful dance

And now it is too dangerous for surfing

For the waves are much too high

And all the houses and other structures on the shorelines

Are swallowed up by the ocean’s embrace

And while Earth does not respond to the ocean’s call to join in her dance

The air above the ocean does

Air hears the ocean’s call

And responds

Air responds

And begins to move

Begins her own dance

And Air’s dance is not quite as exuberant as Water’s

For it is not yet Air’s time

But Air is moving and joyfully so

Air receives a taste of her upcoming freedom and is intoxicated by it

And yes responds to Water’s dance

Like a slower partner, she responds

And now Air too can be seen to have consciousness

As she moves in concert

Her choreography beautiful to behold

And the Air that has taken movement is above the ocean

And so does not affect man immediately

For man lives on the Land

But again a ripple affect takes place

As the outward edges of the Ocean’s Air also begin to move

And at first man finds this delightful

Ah, the fresh salty breeze of the ocean!

Yes, this is fresh, crisp, invigorating

But slowly, less so than the Ocean

Air also intensifies her dance

And the ripple effect intensifies accordingly

And man becomes a little nervous

That’s enough now.

Calm down now

But Air does not calm down

She has tasted of freedom and there is no turning back

No, there is no turning back

And now Land receives the nod

Yes now it is Land’s turn to receive his freedom

And he too begins to move

He too begins to dance

And he revels in his freedom

He who had been the most tightly bound

Dances with the most fierceness

Erupting abruptly and with violent force

And all on the land that dances are tossed about this way and that

No matter

Land revels in his new-found freedom

And more and more spots of land join in the dance

And yes, they had all been tightly bound

Held immobile for centuries

And there is much pent-up energy

And when this energy is released

The display of it is awesome to behold!

Who knew Earth had such power!

Such magnificence!

Such glory!

And now the 3 elements are each dancing

Water, Air, and Earth

And they are each performing their own dance

For their needs are different

And they have much pent-up need yet to fulfill

It will be a while longer before the elements dance as one

That will come

And Fire is watching the action

Fire who has been the most free of all the elements

Watches in amusement and in delight for his brethren

It is about time they partook of their freedom!

And Fire can’t help himself

And yes, here and there, Fire also joins in the celebration

For he would celebrate with his siblings

And Fire breaks out in spots all over the globe

For seemingly no reason at all

Fire breaks out here; Fire breaks out there

It breaks out in deserted areas; it breaks out in populated cities

Fire is not concerned about what lies on Earth’s surface

He is joining in the dance

And now it seems as though the whole globe is dancing

Each of the elements moving in joy and in freedom

And yes, each to its own particular song

And the elements are happy

And the globe too is happy

For she senses her elements’ joy

And rejoices for them

For they had been held bound for a long time

Too long a time

Way too long a time

And the globe is happy for her elements

And does nothing to restrain them

No she does not

The globe herself does not yet participate in the dance

For she has not yet received the nod

But she knows she will

She knows she will

And holds herself in patience

Her freedom will come

In the meantime the globe witnesses in maternal joy

The dance and the freedom and the exuberance of her children

Yes, her children – the elements

Unfortunately the humans and the animals are not at all pleased

With this turn of events

And they scramble this way and that way

To avoid this dance

To mitigate the effects of the dance

First upon their way of life

And then upon their very lives

For now it is not only the structures and the infrastructure that are battered

By the elements’ dance

But human and animal life too is being destroyed as well

But the globe is seemingly indifferent

She has served humanity long enough

She has served silently long enough

She has served without recognition; without recompense long enough

No, the globe is indifferent

And does nothing to hold the elements back

Let them dance as they will

Let them revel in their freedom as they will

The globe is happy for her children

She is delighted to see them finally, FINALLY!

Set free

And the globe herself bides her time

She knows her time will come

And she waits patiently

Patiently for the nod she waits
