Fire and Water

Fire dies for attention to grow stronger.

Water appreciates to reach potential.

Fire grasps every detail to consume all.

Water consumes all to grasp every detail.

Fire burns arrogant and selfish, sweltering if given no boundaries.

Water flows stubborn and relentless, stifling if given no direction.

Fire grows quickly and dominates the space around it.

Water builds slowly and permeates all space within it.

Fire eventually evaporates water but helps it from overflowing.

Water immediately extinguishes fire but keeps it from exploding.

Together they are energy and life,

willpower and tranquility,

action and subtlety,

passionate and adventurous by nature.

Creativity and innovation abound with the foundation of it all.
