Fire is hot, a fierce and wild force,
It burns with an insatiable hunger,
Consuming all in its path, leaving nothing but devastation.
You can burn, feel the searing heat lick at your skin;
You die in the flames, a tragic dance of destruction.
That's where ash came to be-
A testament to what once was, now reduced to nothingness.**

Your skin is gone, a charred memory of beauty;
What was vibrant and alive has turned to gray,
Your essence lost in the crackling embers.
Yet your spirit remains, flickering like a candle in the dark-
A whisper of who you were, still searching for light.
But your soul is gone, swallowed by the inferno,
Leaving behind only echoes of laughter and love.

💧💧💧💧💧
Water is cold, a tranquil yet treacherous element;
It drowns with an embrace that feels like a lullaby,
Pulling you under its surface, where breaths become gasps.
You can drown in its depths, lost to the currents;
You die in silence, as the world above fades away.
Your soul is gone, slipping through the fingers of fate-
Your body white and lifeless, a fragile shell adrift.

Your beauty is gone, washed away by relentless waves;
Yet your spirit remains-a shimmer beneath the surface-
An ethereal presence that lingers in the stillness.
Your loved ones are gone too, carried off by fate's cruel hand;
Each memory a ripple in the vast ocean of time.

We were left to wonder-
To ponder the fragility of life and love;
Why do we dance so close to these extremes?
Why do we embrace both fire and water with such fervor?

Cause you were caused to wander around-
A restless spirit seeking meaning in chaos;
Oh? You wondering spirit, searching for answers-
In the ashes of fire or the depths of water?
What do you seek in this realm of loss and longing?

In every flicker of flame and every drop of rain,
We find pieces of ourselves scattered like stars across the night sky.
The dance between destruction and creation persists-
A reminder that from ashes can rise new beginnings;
And from depths can emerge a renewed spirit longing for life.

So we wonder on-
Through fire's rage and water's embrace-
Seeking solace in the paradoxes that define us;
For even in loss, there lies the potential for rebirth-
A cycle unbroken as we navigate this journey together.
