Part 2. Whenever fire explodes / everyone escapes from / its aggression / seeking safety- - - - - - -> > explodes is the exact right word and not everyone made their escape to safety.... very well written on different levels of thought,

Yet, they can take away life in their most vulnerable state. And we can see the power in them that no man can ever bend or stop. Nature and humanity must be in harmony to enjoy a wonderful existence.
An insightful and wonderful poem well crafted and conveyed. The four elements like Water and Fire are the roots of life. Life could not flourish if one of these elements cease to exist. When they are in tranquil state They bring joy and sustain life.

Part 3- -right now we breathe through masks inside our house and cannot see the hospital a blocks away so we are praying for water, tranquil or not... but it is pleasant to think beyond this time and see the cycle of nature that will heal- - > While elsewhere in peace / The birds sing and / pattering raindrops / draw attention / people plant seedlings / to a rich life, , , , , , , , , , ,10+++++++++++
