Complexity and pain
sheltered away
Born of water
So calm and mysterious

Piercing waves
Engulf
with each icy blow
Born of fire
will never return
such pain

For in all the realities lived
and all the chances offered
to melt the ice
and condense the sea

Spreading flames
to all the misery
all the resentment
being free of torment
is a life never to be lead

As far as the greatest of opposites go
Fire and Water
Knowing of the harrowing truth
that each vexed action
will keep them farther apart

In the end
The fire
in its passionate desire
will burn again
with no limitation
and the sea
in its mysterious beauty
will remain still
and alone
with no warmth in sight
