Luis is a young man in his early twenties who first came to the Abbey as a child with his mother many years ago. This is part of a series of writings he is working on as he searches for the meaning of love.
Flames of Strife,
Ice of stagnation,
Both powerful forces,
Causing much havoc
Inferno burns skin,
Anger causing hatred,
Frustration causing misunderstanding,
Possessiveness causing jealousy
Blizzard chills bone,
Fear causing paralysis,
Distrust causing secrecy
Panic causing avoidance
Water in center,
Reflecting true understanding,
Consolidates both together,
Bringing steam forth
As steam dissipates,
Water is left,
With encompassing forgiveness,
Love takes form
