Cosmic Spirit (Cosmica)
She teaches us to trust
To take our rainbow colored crayons
And splash among the milky way
To mix stardust in our cereal
have a slide on Saturn’s rings
Say YES! to life and what it all brings..

Water Spirit (Echolalia)
EchoLalia is just a prominent puddle basking inside a mashed potato cloud..
She can’t wait to become the rain..
Playing and splashing so profound
Wanting to fall on the cheeks of someone you love..

Air Spirit (Zephyr)
She shimmies and shakes through the leaves.
Fluttering her wings.
Yes Zephry
She knows the directions..
She knows how to spark that jovial connection..

Fire Spirit (Saraph)
There is no need to be shy
When Saraph is in your eyes
The fire invites us in
To be seen
To giggle and cackle
To be mischievous
And so silly

Earth Sprit (Gaia)
Gaia reminds you
That you have a beat
How lucky are we to know these sensations
No matter where we go
We are a flower with two walking feet
With our body has our home
We are our home
