by Tom Mukasa
An older experienced spirit,
Never tires of cautioning,
And it is no secret.
A bolder acolyte spirit,
Curious and insatiable,
restlessly looking for an outlet.
An older experienced spirit,
Torch bearer and lighter of fires,
the same spirit dowser of flames.
A bolder acolyte spirit,
The very tinder that burns,
the cinder, a mark of resilience.
A fire burns brightly,
A light that chases the shadows away,
My two spirits formed both in ember and fire.
