Yang and Yin
I searched the top and bottom of my mind
Who is the most famous couple of them all
I sat by the fire close to Yang
He asked me if I knew his lover Yin
He held the fire and light within his hands
Only her water could quench the flames of his desire
She could change the course of history
Wear down rocks bring flowers to the desert
Wash away his pain
Strength and softness combined
His was the power of light
Warmth and sparkle to her night
Without him she was unseen
His raging fire all consuming
Until she smiled
The sound and rhythm of her
Calmed
Nurtured him
She is tantalized fully alive
Joining together dark and light
Creating something new
Not in opposition
Interconnected
Heat transforms cold
Wrapped in an eternal bond
The invisible whole
Opposites and equals
Together become one
Theirs is the eternal dance of give and take
