Soul Mates

Soul mates

Young soul
Fire sign
Intemperate and impulsive
Self destructive and driven.
Or perhaps an old soul
Damned to begin the wheel again
Having failed to learn
And to pass on.

Old soul
Air sign
Progressive and rational
Healer and protector
A life without a real childhood,
Having learned earlier
Or in previous lives.

Fire and Air
A conflagration of huge heat
Passion and seeking
Through years the fire
Has never been banked.
But Air has moderated.
And taught with Old Soul patience.

Fire and air
Dangerous - sure
Rewarding - unbelievably
Unending dichotomy balanced
On the fulcrum of love.
Fire and air
Old and young
Soul mates.
