WaterFire


The fire burned over the water. Bowls of flame, sending sparks like stars upward. The water, shining forth its shimmering reflections. The music, weaving a tapestry of sound around the basin. It was a faerie place, otherworldly, an oasis in the middle of the urban desert. Outside the hallowed perimeter, the screeching and the noise and the struggle for humanity raged.

But I, in my hallowed sanctuary, sat transfixed. Unaware of anything except the opening of another world in front of my eyes. A world made of ancient beauty.

Fire and water and music. The elements of a human soul.
