Land, Air, and Sea

What great forces that these be
The land the air and the sea
Each holds beauty unlike the rest
To show the way that they know best
The power that they hold equally
Is only changed by density
The land is firm and will not move
But the air and water�s erosion prove
To wear it down in time you�ll see
That land may not the strongest be
Maybe the air is the lightest force
When land and sea both change their course
They both rearrange to push away
And displace air in their mocking way
Then there is water the one in-between
That laps at the air and keeps the land green
It�s beauty is vast and it�s body holds depth
but still it remains between the land and air kept
Which one is the strongest well that�s hard to say
They all hold great beauty and destruction at bay
From the majestic Wolf that stands on the hill
Or the Eagle that rides on the wind for a thrill
The playful Dolphins that glide through the air
Leap through the waves rolling peaceful and fair
The land holds it�s fires and earthquakes that kill
But the sea�s hurricanes drown in masses at will
The air brings tornadoes and lightning on the breath
Of the storms it creates with it�s natural unrest
Yes all three of them hold both beauty and death
Where the strong will survive and the weak lay to rest
