On Yin and Yang


The hardwood flame leaps from the forge.

Ash gently falls to the ground.

Morning dew drips from the blade of a broken axe,

Nourishing a thirsty oak.

The oak’s roots pierce the earth’s crust,

Opening her up to absorb the morning dew.

A bucket of water extinguishes the forge,

A new axe is ready for the cutting of wood.
