I, You.

I am Sky
You, Earth

We are tied
Ever-distant
Ever-close

Only my tears
Caress your skin

Your white hair
Swirls with my breath

Forever falling around you

I am Moon
You are Sun

Your light is my light
Your eclipse, my darkness

I pace and ponder
You stare and smile

Forever far

I am Fire
You, the Wind

I am Ocean
You are Storm

I am
You are

I will
You won’t
