Ambiguous

I am the ambiguous creature
I breathe
fire and water
and yet
no flames burn
and yet
no water drowns
I swam early
and float now in cool fire
I am the ambiguous creature

About Arcadia Tempest

Feelings and words fall on to the page
Sometimes they bite back
Sometimes they tug on our sleeve
Sometimes they have a cheeky grin
They stay once a page has found them
Words are faithful to us even in the dark

    Our dual nature, it seems, can cope with many elements…..you are a most skilled and artful creature. xoxo

  • Hi Cos
    I have been thinking about the duality of this time of year, the commercial and spiritual.
    There is a sense to me of this write with the pressure cooker of the end of a year and forced situations in the name of Christmas cheer.
    I reckon if you can’t be cheerful to one another on other days besides Xmas then might as well stick paper bags on our heads…
    So anyhoo thanks for putting up with duo layers in 2010… watch out for more in 2011! xxx

    calm (water) yet passionate (fire), you are so spirited in what you give with your writing. At times a tornado of passion yet also such a calming influence as you paint with words. Beautiful KS

  • Tom….I have to tell you this is likely one of the most wonderful comments I have ever received about my writing and my intentions behind it.
    Many many thanks for being so loving and supportive, you are a good man… xxx
