Balance

Sometimes you can’t love Those whom you admire It is like water and fire One cools you off when You are burned by desire The other warms you up When you are frozen In icy waters of feeling Empty and void of passion You need both to balance The opposing feelings Swaying you in extremes Of your emotional being I can’t handle them Both at the same time Please give me water To quench my thirst And then lit the fire So, I can keep balance Of overwhelming feeling Of love as a burning desire

Yes, balance / equilibrium / the middle path is best... Also, I want you to know that your name, Ruta, means 'Friday' in the Assyrian language. Assyrians say 'Ruta brichta' on Friday. That means: A blessed Friday! Season's best, Gershon
