#DualNature

Heart, a frozen lake beneath the moon's glow,
Reflecting stars in quiet swoon.
Poise in every breath we take,
Peace a constant, for our sake.

But deep within, a stirring starts,
An ember wakes, a fire darts.
The primal drum, a fiery tongue,
Words like silver, clear and strong,
Licks at the heart's ice, a battle sung.
