#DualNature

In the heart of man, a fire burns bright,
A blaze of passion, fierce and wild,
With tongues of flame that dance in night,
Untamed, relentless, never mild.

It roars with dreams and fierce desire,
A molten core of molten gold,
In its embrace, we rise, aspire,
To daring heights, both brave and bold.

Yet deep within, an ice resides,
A tranquil calm, serene and still,
It tempers flames, where wisdom hides,
And bends the chaos to its will.

This frost, it cools the raging storm,
A crystal breath of clear, cold air,
It soothes, it heals, it can transform,
With gentle touch, it shows it cares.

Between the two, a balance lies,
A dance of elements within,
A spectrum vast as morning skies,
Where fire and ice, as one, begin.

For passion drives us to pursue,
The dreams that set our hearts aflame,
While calmness brings a clearer view,
And tempers glory with the tame.

In every soul, this dual reign,
Of fire's fervor, ice's grace,
A paradox we can't contain,
Yet find in each a sacred place.
