Molten (NaPo #16/30)

The ethereal stars of fish and ram  
Move though the velvet sky, with their celestial diagram,  
Both, ends of the twelve month cycle they are,  
Right next to each other, never far.  
Moving through the cloak  
Of the swirling smoke  
Of the Yin-Fire Ox, as she melts the strong, solid, metal of Yang-Metal Tiger,  
Melting, and melding the drips together  
With the wax from Yin-Fire Ox's candle,  
Forming a new being, as forseen by the oracle.  
A being of beauty, love, kindness, honesty, bravery, integrity, humility, empathy, creativity, good fortune and health, and abundance,  
That, down to the wick, down to the essence,  
Is a being of lyght, and acceptance.  
Down one of the many paths of life, they did travel  
Path nine, where they met, and now they continue to travel,  
Now with renewed purpose,  
For both Yang-Metal Tiger, and candle, Yin-Fire Ox, formerly ruinous,  
Who would have continued to melt away,  
And away,  
And away,  
Had they not found one another, to melt down together, and reform,  
Into their new norm.
