Whilst drifting in an open boat across a mill pond lake
I think of the invisibility of power something not to forsake.

Imagine the power that is all around you
Remember your mind will know what to do.

Water is very powerful as well as being beautiful and mild
It has tremendous power to destroy, flood as the sea it kills
But it can trickle sparkle, be still, move harmlessly
It has power to heal, it can relax you spiritually
Water power has a Jekyll and Hyde personality
As rivers in torrents sweep all in its path
People respect its power, it’s anger and wrath
Foolish are those that ignore the power of the sea
Water’s duel role upon the Earth as creator of life
It is the bringer of death, awesome, creates strife
Better to be wary of it, better still keep to the streams.

Fire, the energy to destroy, causes harm, everything it blackens
Left in its uncontrolled and dangerous state it will flatten
Everything in its way – setting alight trees and plants
Melting people, houses, speeds the decay.
Though man has harnessed the power of fire
To torch him, his food, towns, cities is the real power
Of fire, that does nothing any good, its shower
Of ashes, piles of dust leaving traces for all to see.

The wind has power beyond wild imagining
For though we see the evidence of storms and gales
The wind be invisible in most of its disguises
Trees bend they whisper to each other, reeds will sing
Birds will glide, float endlessly upon the thing
But the breezes, although very much there 
Are invisible not revealing to the studious stare
Fire and water are visible forms of power
Everyone recognises but wind is it really there?
For most of the time it is not visible even when near.

Gravity in all its majesty is the power that is present
At all times but remains cloaked in mystery
Keeping us all rooted to the Earth is it’s paramount element
But its visibility does not show as though to prevent
Too much investigation too much scientific probing
Though the scientist alchemist show the existence
Of its power by falling apples and parachutists
There is no other proof of its whereabouts
We believe there is such a thing because of experts sense
“There is gravity. Behold the wonder of science!”

Spirit like gravity is all around us if you could perceive
The existence of such not having scientific approval
Means that doubters outweigh the enlightened 
But the enlightened are better for their understanding
Spirit is invisible like gravity and is an essential force
For it does make sense of when combined with love 
The love that derives from the mighty Universe
It links our tiny minds to the stars in outer space
It gives purpose to the querying human race
Spirit is there as gravity is there as wind is there 
To ignore the dimension we call spirit God Life energy
Is like ignoring the power of fire, wind water gravity.
