Summary: After Robert Frost's Ice and Fire - see Poetry Seminar.




Held between the Moon and Sun
The Earth, our Goddess Mother
Created from the fires of Sun
Man and Woman, just begun
And nurtured by each other.
And if these two should come to fight
Like sister and like brother
I know that in the blackest night
Their passions would the world ignite
But when the fires had died at last
Their memory would soon be past
Just like any other.
