The Unbalanced Balance

Frost coats my tongue

Ice crosses my vision

Snow drifts across my skin

Chills snake through my bones

Warmth drifts through the air 

Fire scorches the ground

Ash obscures the sky

Heat follows my every move

Water flows undirected, forever forward

Fluid, pure, ever changeable, remaining

Reflecting the beauty of life, glittering

Earth remains, forever unchanged

Solid, mixed, immutable, remaining

Reflection worthy from top to bottom, growing

Black, perceived in hate and fear

Beyond the twinkling above, billions made known

White, perceived in prosperity and hope

An orb of flame and wisps of water

Life, moving second by second

Death, an everlasting slumber
