the ice is silent.
silent and perfect.
silent and perfect and blinding.

the silent
perfect blinding
ice.

the fire sings
sings and dances
sings and dances and sees
beyond

the singing
dancing seeing
flame.

see them twine
ice lacing flame
flame licking ice
heating and cooling
drips in drops
of unity.

i promise you
my love
though ice
ascendant rules the day
fire will win
in The Day

and thawing come
and passion rule
and only water
here remaining
