Rainbow, Iridescent arch, Cascading cheerful colors; Being Elohim's chromatic tapestry; Woven of storm and sunlight. Behold this bridge of sparkling spectrums, Which lifts our hearts and hopes; To reach ever onward, upward, To realms of radiance Where joys join As one Rainbow.
2
Mountain, Pyramid adamant, Cloud temple high; Of rock foundations risen, To snow summit touching sky. Below, towering resolve climbs heaven upwards. Above, swift winds and spirits soar. Breathless there breathes panoramic royalty; Rich horizons answering ascent, Announcing Elohim's vistas Beyond one Mountain.
3
Sun, Central sphere, Light bursts brilliant As the cosmos afire; Blessing earth with warmth, life. In wonder recurring our world revolves, While a star dazzles our visions; Circumscribing horizons in clouds aflame. Resplendent dawn, twilight testify: Elohim's illuminating power Is one Sun.
4
Flower, Gentle glory Praying fragrances sweet; Perfuming petals delicately dreaming. A nectar chalice filling enchantment, Displays colors bright, bold, tender, pure. Let our souls bloom as blossoms, Receiving Elohim's sunshine for life. Then shall seeds spring, Unfolding another's beauty, As one Flower.
5
Star, Celestial crystal, Timeless light treasure, Brilliance aspiring into infinity To attain night's angelic splendor. Spark of serenity, immortal worlds away, Stir our sight to higher heavens Where we discover everlasting day. There shines power empyreal; Elohim within, afar, As one Star.
6
Cloud, White breeze, Wind wrought artistry, Soaring march of majesty. Mountain, mist, cumulous and cirrus, Silver and pearl, celestial seas purest; Saluting sun in gold, ruby flourish. Embark upon airs of exhilaration Where Elohim's ways run; Sailing into ascension As one Cloud.
7
Lake, Blue jewel, Quiet waters repose; Mirroring hemispheres lovely still There waves shimmer, circles glimmer. Spring currents glide cool bottom tides. Restful motions flow within flora below. Here secure, thoughts tranquil, pure, Swim in safety, reflecting: Elohim's calm surfaces Round one Lake.
8
Wind, Unseen blessing, Sails forth smiling, Carrying caresses gentle, cool. Swaying dances embrace blades, branches. Living ballet, swift grace so transcending; Overall, clear waves of elation sending. Endless flows Elohim's vigor invisible, Stirring high, sea, sky; Lifting our spirits As one Wind.
9
Rain, Pours pure, Anointing all anew. Chill cleansing, deluge descending, As tearful grace, Elohim's embrace. Heavenly sown seeds, within waters freed. Under skies singing, life below bringing. Symphonic showers, melody in flower. Consonance calling, thankfulness falling On leaf, pond, As one Rain.
10
Moon, Argent aura, Sacred celestial crescent, Shining light soft silver; That penetrates darkness, mysterious night. A beacon above proclaiming Elohim's Order, Whose mystic cycles illume skies sublime. So shall our guidance glimmer; Vision restored full circle, Receiving, returning radiance As one Moon.
11
Fountain, Joyous spring, Waters which sing Of upsurging sprays pristine, Returning to rain cleansing streams. See the showers in sunlight glistening. Feel the healing, a newborn christening. Quickening beneath Elohim's foundations founded, Beautiful depths burst unbounded; Rejoicing to become As one Fountain.
12
Waterfall, River rejoicing, Avalanche of elation, Sundered flood of thunder, Crashes currents white, clear, bright; Over stones shining smooth and stern. Crystal clouds, a mystic mist arising, Form fountains cresting rainbows high. Like triumph over trials, Elohim's wonders cascade As one Waterfall.
13

14

15
Meadow, Solace serene Covers fields classic In swaying grasses green; Enfolding robe, soft emerald magic. Here incense sweet in Elohim pervades; Awakening dreams of flower full glades. Come repose upon living verdure; Beds of lily, lavender; Made in meditations On one Meadow.
16
Swan, Alabaster avis, A plumage pure Wrought of softest gossamer. Elohim in graceful form grandeur, Shaped thy silhouette a sublime curvature. Like snowfall which upon lake blends, Wings of white delicately descend: Tranquility that transcends Beyond one Swan.
17
