Wind and Water

Wind and Water

Fire froze
Its ardor vanished
Flames banished
Water rose
To towering tsunami
Arched angel
Ripe so
Ready
For the fall.
But the wave
Never crashed
On the shore..
Because the wind
Wouldn't leave
Playing with her hair
The liquid tendrils
Of her passion...
Watching the shore
Recede in fear
Of her ferocious
Beauty
She froze
In mid air
Cradled in the arms
Of the wind...
A tempestuous sigh
Air after all
Is buoyant
But
Water must fall...

A friend told me
How nature
Vast bodies of waters
And granite mountains
And the vast heavens above
Bear witness...

Human conspiracy
To be treacherous
Is vain...
For air must float on aether
and water
Must flow on earth....

Meeting is
Tsunami.
