Nature’s Immortal Dance

Lilting, harmonic

A light tune plays near

Tilting, demonic

The chords twist, shatter my ear

Two sides of the same coin

Fire battles frost

They turn, fuse and join

One defeats the other, and lost

Which will prevail?

Light, or shadows?

Like metal without the nail

Like grass without the meadows

A neverending circuit

A sphere without edges

Emerald bushes were cut

By the gardener, the hedges

One burns, the other cools

What is a hero without a villain?

As useful as a plumber without tools

As perfect as a circle in a square fill-in

A constant battle, an eternal struggle

A gymnast’s perfect balance

A toddler learning to juggle

Nature’s immortal dance.
