Pondering
The sun reflects off the moist, green grass as the morning dew winks in the glinting light. Despite the heat and humidity of a summer morning, the water, meager a source as it may be, painting the vegetation contradicts the hot, stuffy atmosphere with its cool touch.
The sunset, spilled paint across a canvas spanning the heavens, depicted a battle scene of attempted dominance between the azure sky and fiery orange clouds.
A stunning and elegant red rose placed beside deep blue violets appears out of place. Yet the two colors blend perfectly with the help of the purple pansy acting as the mediator.
Among the bountiful elements in nature that could keep one alive, fire and water seemed the most useful. With fire, man could roast his food, build a pit for warmth, seek protection from animals, and heat water for multiple purposes. Water kept man alive, because dehydration led to death.
The moon and central star both take places in the sky daily and nightly, never failing in their duties, always rising and falling in synchronization. Both receive their chance at supremacy during an eclipse, either of the lunar or solar.
"Fire and water…" mused a particular brunette waterbender as she pondered the comparisons. And who should happen to pop into her mind at the thought of fire but he himself,-
"Nah. Ridiculous."
But though she laughed the thought off lazily and shook her head in a self-disciplinary manner, she could not help but wonder.
