I hear the whisper of your voice,

Hi Tony - the standout line for me was 'water bends etc.' : it was a fresh, original image. 
given that it's a short poem, you'd like to make each line punchy. 
Also, you've got light, water, water / sound and air / sound. It might be a better idea to have light (fire), water, earth, and air. A neat second layer for free.
good luck.
