It was written in the Earth
Under the composted terrain
Carved into the crust
Breaking through to the damp sand
In between the leaves of trees
Branches blowing upward
Allowing letters to fly
***
It was written in the Water
As it bubbled up
Pulsing through the grit, becoming
An underground ocean of crashing waves
Caught in the whirling waterspouts
Vortex connecting sea and sky
The letters fly
***
It was written in the Air
Tossed across the racing clouds
Cottony words appearing
To all who lifted eyes to the skies
Into outer space, visible in the darkest night
Between Corvus and Orion and The Dipper
Letters lying quietly in their orbit
***
It was written in the Fire
Silvery reflection
From the solar system star
Seared into the cavernous craters
Seen in cascading lava
Or in subduction zones of tectonic plates
Cooling into legible letters
***
Names are written
Entwined like moon-struck hearts
An Akashic Record of twin souls
An inseparable destiny
And in dreams that rarely come
I see our names, together
