therefore the winds demanded
to be swift and free
forgotten to paths and energy
unspoiled by the memory

therefore the sun demanded
to be unbridled and blithe
dazzle and violently brazen
sovereign by the luminescence

therefore the moon demanded
to be lustrous and lithe'ly
momentous and meagersome
propagated by the circumstance

therefore the sea demanded
to be winsome and wanton
unharried and humungous
refresher by the bewitched

Hi elazar,

This is a wonderful poem.

I particularly liked your use of the word "demanded". This poem has a very vigorous cadence to it!

The winds, the sun, the moon, the sea ~ they chose their spaces well.
