Quicksilver

Quicksilver river streaming past.
White flames shooting skyward.
Linked, this mercurial stream and
The flames, earth and unearthly fire.
Earth running like water. Fire
Soaring upwards to air.
FOUR elements, then.
Yet it's the colours that hold me.
Greysilver. Ethereal white. Utterly
Different. Circling each other.
Strangely connected. These two.
