BEST OF Challenge #8- An Elemental Literature Chal

Hello everyone!

Sorry for the delay in this announcement.  Every piece submitted was AWESOME! Making this choice very difficult.
I want to thank everyone who participated.  You guys came up with some incredible words!

Without further ado, I give you, the BEST OF our 8th Challenge- Elemental Literature.


ElementsSettled by brambles and dark wither-less trees 
that stretch without bound or bearing,
standing testament to time, land, and lawn,
Where gardens were overgrown forests. 
Where dreams had span deeper than before.
Wearing the innocence of love immersed
like chimes that grow bigger, and sycamore  
as fully-bloomed sturdiness abound,
and the ever surpassing nature of earth 
cycles to seasons summer winter autumn spring
as sturdy as words that truly were free verse,
the diversity, diligent as leaves, synthesis
of a nature well grounded and green. 
Through the valleys of a gracing sky,
within the whirling of a wind.  
As beams had touched down gracefully,
as we to were immersed and free
through the clouds of seamless white. 
Seeing shadows that chase the morning sun, 
now as the sum of everything. As precipices
passing of time. As those few changeling skies 
that reckon of the gone since, of what we owe. 
To breathe. To fly. To flow, to flowi
