Even the heavens cry sometimes
and when they do you know
you'll be joining them soon
with either tears of sorrow or joy
Even the oceans dance sometimes
and when they do you know
you'll be joining them soon
with slow and steady turn
Even the earth sings sometimes
and when it does you know
you'll be joining it soon
with praises of eternal joy
Even the fires laugh sometimes
and when they do you know
you'll be joining them soon
with confidence raised a loud resounding boom
Even the wind comforts sometimes
and when it does you know
you'll be joining it soon
with assurance of grace to help win the race
As even the moonlight shines

I like the personification you gave whether it was heaven, the ocean, the earth, fire, or wind. Use of the 4 elements definitly added to the poems greatness. And I suppose Heaven being the 5th element? Well, this poem got me thinking, and frankly I alove to think while reading. Great write!
