Katara
Written by Avatar Aang
Frozen in ice and trapped by the Earth
My state of being was absolute
Then two figures from the water tribe found me
And gave me hope that I could be
The Avatar and restore balance
Full of humility and uncertainty
With Appa by my side to guide us through
My journey began anew
It wasn’t long before I began to notice your kindness abound right through your eyes
Your faith in me gave me more than strength, but a peaceful reminder of your grace unkempt
To fly above the clouds and hear your heartbeat aloud was a freedom unknown
As we travelled from the four nations and battled the fire nation, I saw your inner strength, your kindness and sincere spirit
There was nothing I couldn’t ask you or hide from you, except maybe my feelings for you
That time when you asked me if we should kiss to find our way out of the cave, my cheeks blushed red and my heart hopped a beat
The rhythm ebbed and flowed like your water bending feats
It had been long and dangerous and amazing, and I knew we would always be family
But, I also knew I had grown to love you as more than a friend
And so I wanted to say,
I love you, Katara, until the end

Republic City is like a golden flower of renewal and hope BEGINNING
It dances in the night and graces the stars with its glimmering height FLOWING
As I became known, the four elements buzzed through every corner GROWING
Sweeping into my core; chakras hummed and whistled solemnly LISTEN
My life changed so fast and my fears strengthened ACCEPTANCE
But with Asami as a friend, I could be free PEACE
We hadn’t known, not for a long time what we would come to mean to each other
UNITY
When I left, I was so broken and lost, I never thought I would find myself again or if I would be the same person I was
GROWS
But, hearing your voice and knowing you were living; feeling your support meant everything to me
HOPE
When I saw you again after all that time, my whole body buzzed with joy and my skin grew goosebumps
AND
My mind became clear and told me what was dear. So, when you mentioned a vacation, there was no better time to go on a first date
BEGINNING
Seeing your excitement as we strolled through the spirit world made me smile
I wanted nothing more than to stay there with you
Until time became nothing but its own illusion
But, the city came calling
And now here we are; rebuilding Republic City and restoring balance
Bet you never thought you would see me writing a poem
Well, here it is, just for you.
