Sadness, desolation beyond
measure
Lifeless, dull, grey
Barren and empty
Missing the sun.
A drop of rain trickles into
the cracked earth
The sun returns, warming
the soul
Suddenly, the other is there
Life sparkles and things
come alive.
The energy is in the air
An unspoken connection,
a symbiosis
Between the earth and the
sun
The one and the other.
Each alone is for naught
Pieces of a puzzle in disarray
A fire waiting to be lit
Clay waiting to be molded.
When the two mix, something
new is born
A partnership of eternal
love
The ultimate balance, the
best of each
The balance, nature's way.
Spring is in the air
What has been yoked together,
Let no man tear asunder
An affair of the heart.
The one and the other
The earth and the sun
The man and the woman
The partnership forged from
love.
- Tony Klepack, 1996
