One and the same

Fire and water, air and earth we were all one before our birth then return to dust
Poles of a loadstone, positive, negative a direction shown that we must trust
I north you south, different words in wind from nature's mouth at center we meet
Hydrogen, oxygen together, lightnings spark, rain drops, stormy weather cold and heat
One another we repel, chemical bonds held together in the same shell chafe
Enemy and lover in one form, through all time a resurrecting storm that's safe
Race of creation, religion or nation, all men and women are made as one
Whether plant, animal or man since time began, all life equal under the sun
We are all waves that nature saves in her constant recirculation
As the living turn to dust and steel becomes rust all subject to regeneration
