Light and Darkness

Light and Dark: The yin and yang
For generations, it has been sang.
A barrier for people, good and bad,
But one that makes the grey area sad.

A perfect balance of these two forces
Can take a man on many, many courses.
However, its hard to walk a fine line,
Especially with my sad little mind of mine.

A beautiful mix, shadow and bright,
A dark tint to a quite shining light.
I cannot seem to grasp that power,
And only take one to my mind, all sour.

A path less chosen, I'm suppose to take,
But I can't find which one, for my sake.
I want to find the right path, my path,
But it would be easier to do rocket math.

Light on one road, Darkness on the other,
I can't even get the help of my brother.
The light blinds me, the other shadows me.
One warms me, the other as cold as the sea.

I fear for me, for what if I choose unwise?
I do not want to come up to a nasty surprise.
Do I choose the brightness or the shadow?
At this moment in time, I really do not know.

I stand at the crossroads, the fork in the journey.
The air is still, and unclear for what I can see.
A tree, showing me its bright, shadowed grin...
Does it want to me to greatness or to sin?

"A sweet smell, a sour look, this leads me to,
Power without being hurt, dark leads you..."
The light shows similar, but scares me more,
But success would, in front of me, lie before.

My rose stands on both sides, tempting love,
But I know that I might not be able to rise above.
I wish that I could split myself into two parts,
So I can experience both types of these arts.

I look at both, and choose the difficult path,
Only to see the illusion before the abyssal bath.
Both would lead me to ruin and much pain,
But I guess the risk was worth the small gain.

As I fall, light and shadow comfort me,
As I fall through this endless void sea. 
Both are so beautiful, for they spoke true,
My rose, oh my rose, they gave me you...
