Writing

Earth, Water, Fire, and Air

Posted by lenleatherwood on

Earth’s endless hills and dells

Symbolize life’s parallels

Rising high, sinking low

Shining light and dull shadow

Water’s gentle ebb and flow

Cradle and rock my very soul

The shallows and great depths

Reflect my deep and rhythmic breaths

Fire’s constant flicker and flame

Burn away both fear and shame

Hot-dark red and cool-light blue

Offer the chance for a rendezvous

Air’s powerful gusts and gales

Fill and billow my soul’s mainsail

Dry hot breezes or wet cold squalls

My spirit frolics in Victoria Falls

I am a native Texan who has lived for the past 27 years in Los Angeles. I am a published author of both short memoir and fiction, a Pushcart nominee, a nationally award-winning writing coach, an editor, as well as a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. In addition, I am the mother of three grown daughters of whom I am extremely proud, a grandmother of three darling children and the wife of a man I still love after 41 years.
