My name means tranquility

Not an absurdity

It's a reality

From what I can hear

And what I can see

That's all that waits for me

~~

Except brewing chaos

And hype

He's not my type, and yet

Blood runs thick in time

~~

So while our veins run

From different sources

One cool, one hotter

His from fire

Mine from water

We'll balance out

One way or the other

~~

And can fire compare to light

Can liquid crystal match the deepened night

Are the shadows growing long

Song of brightness drowning my feeble ripples

But he'll keep on fighting for my sight

~~

And for my sake he'd match the dawn

The twin souls taking over

But none of their battles could match

The distant and huddled love between us

So while he may Duel behind their mirrors

He's still my morning calm

~~

We're not sharing souls, and so

I'm competing with their reflections

Just as much as you are, brother

Trying to get through to you

And proving

Hope unmoving

That fire and water can still Duel alongside

Their partners of intensity

~~

In the balance let it hang

Fire and light can be used the same

And water holds its darkened secrets

Teeming with your hidden currents

Below the sun sparkled surface

~~

So weigh it out

Your own light is there

To be used in times of utmost shadow

To my avail, let yourself go

And know that I'm always on the other side

Of the scale...
