Bifrons

One face has faced infinity and revels in the ride

All ruts encountered on the way are taken slow, in stride

Another face of withered stare is on the other side

A burning deep impatience with no thought of fear or pride

The cry of reason stifles as the aching heart does smother

The winds of fate are weathered by the iron of the other

To pass through time, a ghost, the merest wisps of life and sense

While darkly lit, a whisper's heard, the mists, at once, condense

The faces fold, appear as one, the burden set aside

The ache is gone, the heart is one, the tears have all been cried


NB - the actual definition of "Bifrons" is two-faced or two fronts. It was not originally the name of a demon. That is an adaptation. The god Janus was originally named Bifrons for obvious reasons.
