As I've said, I adore the contrast of the fire/water in the dream, and your description of them. It's very well done, and I really love the poetry of it. So wonderful job with that. : ) I also like that the ending is open-ended- you don't solidly put them together, but there's an opportunity for it. So you can interpret it whatever way you like (and of course you know how I will. *grin*).
