My dancing soul

I see my soul dancing naked in a pit of burning embers. She is on fire, and she is laughing and twirling engulfed in beautiful flame. She dances mostly alone. Sometimes another soul will come along and dance with her. They will stay for a while, and then they will leave. The fire is too hot for them, and they tire easily. Then one day a soul comes along who is made entirely of water. He is her opposite in every way. He dances with her and enjoys the heat of her fire, for he has the power to keep himself cool. He never tires of their dancing for she is so different to him, and he is transfixed by her uniqueness. She in turn is in awe of his fluid motion, and the coolness he conveys. One day they decide to embrace each other. A merging of fire and water. They touch each other for the first time. They fill each other and synchronise in perfect harmony. They both wonder aloud how they had ever been separate, for now that they were together, they would never dance alone again.
