The Runes of Elements: A Poetic Meditation on Loss
In the eternal dance of the cosmos, light meets darkness, not getting fooled, They weave through the fabric of existence, an interplay cruel and cool. Fire meets water, in a fierce embrace, yet remains unsoiled, Their union speaks of an ancient truth, elements unspoiled.
The power of the elements, it’s not about weak or strong, Nor a simplistic dichotomy of right or wrong. It’s a harmony profound, where life and death belong, A balance delicate, a symphony, a timeless song.
In the quiet corners of the night, where light meets darkness, I stand, A silhouette cast by the fading sun, shadows taking command. The loss I bear, an unseen weight, in the depths of my soul, Whispers of memories, now fragments, as shadows console.
The light that once danced in your eyes, now dimmed and gone, Leaves an emptiness, a void, where love once shone. In the twilight of your departure, I grapple with the night, Seeking the remnants of warmth, in the absence of your light.
The stars above, silent witnesses to my silent tears, Reflect the cold distance, the vast expanse of years. They remind me of the nights we shared, under their tranquil gaze, Moments of pure connection, now lost in the haze.
In the realm where light meets darkness, I walk alone, Haunted by echoes of your laughter, a ghostly tone. Each step I take, a journey deeper into the unknown, A pilgrimage through sorrow, where seeds of grief are sown.
Fire meets water, in a tumultuous embrace, A clash of titans, a fusion of grace. The passion of the flames, the serenity of the sea, Together they tell a story, of you and me.
The fire in your spirit, so vibrant, so bright, Met the calm of my soul, in a dance of light. We were a balance, a blend, of passion and peace, Our lives intertwined, in a harmony of release.
But now, the fire is quenched, the water has cooled, Leaving behind a landscape, stark and ruled. By the silence of absence, the echo of your name, A life now altered, never to be the same.
In the moments of reflection, where fire meets water's touch, I see the ebb and flow of life, and it hurts so much. The memories flood in, like a tide unrestrained, Bringing with them the pain, of a love now chained.
In the grand symphony of life, elements play their part, A delicate balance, an art of the heart. Light and darkness, fire and water, each has a role, In the story of existence, in the journey of the soul.
The light that once shone, now merges with the dark, In the shadows of memory, it leaves its mark. The fire that once burned, now tempered by the sea, Speaks of the passion we shared, now a part of me.
In this symphony, there is no weak, no strong, No right, no wrong, only a harmony long. A song of life and death, of joy and pain, A melody of loss, a refrain.
