Hot and Cold

hot and cold
we're old we're young
we must let go now
to become

warm and moist
we make our choice
when we're sad
when we rejoice

the hours go by
so do the days
the minutes flash
by in a haze

our lives unfold
we meet someone
we say goodbye
it has been fun

all around us
and within
we're in motion
we all swim

through a stream
of thoughts, desires
we must let go
or burn in fires

friction caused by
holding on
to what has left
to what has gone

hot and cold
we're old, we're young
we must let go now
to be one
