Way cool. Puts life in perspective, no? very very good.
One thing: you might want to rethink your choise of words with "earth sops up water" cause that's a little clumsy. But the rest is gold. And diamonds. and i've run out of compliments. Just - i love it!

OK so it rhymes occasionally. I like it. Looking at the elements, looking at the circle of life and death, looking at people (in a way). I dont really know what to say. It's good, that's all I can think of right now.. though I'l probably think of something later.
