Description
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
From "Fire And Ice" by Robert Frost

Beautifully drawn, strong imagery and compositiion, well selected verse. The lightness of color of the air/ sky speaks beauty in each heart despite the travail and sorrow being endured. f v

Difficult choice...fire or ice....I would say melt them together...thats already painful enough :)

Thank you so much dear Ana for your kind comments! Yes, this certainly speaks to the polarities that we all get to deal with here. Frankly, I am relishing our evolution into a state of consciousness where such polarity is a thing of the past, lol!
