  The I Ching of Love

My Love is ice and fire;
bitter cold that meets
  the flame;
bright red kites against
a deepest cobalt sky;
thunder in the silence;
moonlight and sunshine;
the yin and yang;
alpha and omega;
beginning and end of
all quests and journeys
  of the heart
that if you so choose
shall forever lead only
     to you!

         --- b. e. adams ( on this day of Summer passing )

The "I Ching" (Book of Eternal Change) is, of course, one of the fundamental ancient texts of Confucianism

This is good, Bruce, your words danced a jig for me.

Thank you J.P.

(I have always felt that all the arts 'inform' each other and
that 'poetry' was closer to 'dance' than anything else!)

Love the yin and yang and the way you express it.

Spectacular 'sight' indeed!
