The Journey
Two roads paved in nature itself
One of molten rock
The other of frozen ocean
Two travelers on these separate paths
Share so much in common
But the ground on which they tread
Their paths converge
And clash as they may
They meld down the way into
something on which they can both walk
They meet one another and see the differences at first
One’s burnt feet
The others frost bitten toes
One’s fiery soul
The other’s emotions becoming glacial
Their love grows as intense as the means under which they’ve walked
But what happens when the paths diverge again
Do they let go and walk where they know best
Or do they pave one together
Do they let the places from whence they came shatter the bond they’ve created
Or build upon it and form their own
A new path
A path just for them
Ice and lava
Formed as one
The impossibility sets in
They look at one another
Conflagration within ice
Cool winds over bonfires
The path ends
But at the end
Lays a small cottage
