Fire

I fell in love with an earth bender

His skin was warm because lava flowed through his lively veins

But I was just a broken water bender
Just a little river in a vast forest

She who could only make a ripple in a small after storm puddle

I made waves the first time the lava touched my skin

He told me my tears are stars

Even though they are here now they could be gone tomorrow

And you wouldn't even notice

Keep your head up little river

Don't make me become the dam that holds back the raging thunder waves

The stone around him was not strong enough

What made the fire inside you my rock?

The best people hold fire inside them

Phoenix bowed to his deep boiling kind heart

Glass flowed from his mouth

So smooth and elegant

He was my roll call

Calling his name gave me one

Though I was too small to flow down the halls without him

When a storm hit his arms became cement walls 

I suffocated to know if this was real
I shattered when I woke in a cave
Cold and soaked with salty pain
Little river
Little river you're dreaming

It is not often one reads work about Avatar that bring such movement to the heart. Like "Tales From Ba-Sing-Se" this too reverberates throughout the mind. A emotional masterpiece, yet unfurnished, and rightly so. Rough, yet rigid, as the rock should be.
