The 5 elements and our body
Shireen Munshi 2005 (Uttar pradesh)
There was a littlegirl playing in the woods
With whom ? We don't know
The woods were playing with her too
But how? We don't know
There was a little girl playing with fire
Why didn't she burn ? We don't know
The fire lost it's temper, it's balm
But how? We don't know
There was a little girl playing with water
Why didn't she get wet? We don't know
The water was dancing around her swiftly
But how? We don't know
There was a little girl playing with air
What was the reason she wasn't feeling lonely ? We don't know
She lured, the air got pure
But how? We don't know
There was a little girl playing with herself
With time, she got united
It's not how but why of the mystery
She didn't let anyone control, but reigned herself on her territory
