Fire and Light

In the Land of Fire and Light
Sat our little bird and sighed
From the tree of little flames
During the spring ash rains

Unable to enjoy
The glowing coals bloom
Flickering, dancing, and growing forth
Towards summer’s glory
Glowing red skies in the afternoon

As a cumulus danced with the sun
Rays shot forth as the day was done
Lighting the sky with a crimson glory
He again knew there was more to his story

Somewhere he felt was more
The other half to his heart so sore
Someone to complete what he could not
To whom he could give what he was
…share his thoughts

Came autumn and his tree was ablaze
Blooms to full flames from hot summer days
He had decided to wait no more
Action was needed for what life had in store

He spread his great wings
As he lies his heart sings
Knowing she’s out there somewhere

* * *

In the land of water and wind
In a tree rich with fruits
Moist with dew, there she sits

A lonely little bird
Sure that she’s heard the call of her soul
And now she does know
Somewhere is more
The other half to her heart so sore
Someone to complete what she could not
To whom she could give what she was
…share her thoughts

As the clouds briefly parted
She spread her wings and got started
Any direction would serve
Her heart spoke, she steeled her nerve
Hoping she would find her way
Following the light of day

Together they did come
A reunion of souls not to be out done
Fire and water carried on light and wind
An explosion of emotion
Sparks, steam, force, power all within
Love of Legends
Brilliance
Such intensity it could not be seen

As the air cleared
Naught of either appeared
Had they completed each other
And then disappeared?
Does the story end tragic?
Was all from the other taken
And nothing added?

As a cumulus dances with the sun
We know our story is not done
Rays of fire shoot across the sky
A tickle of drizzle as the clouds blow on by
Light of evening in a crimson glory
Life will continue
Love’s new life will finish the story
