Balance Is Kept

Silently weighing smiles and frowns, Fate ensures that balance is kept. But the scale tips ominously, with the added weight of tears wept. The pursuit of happiness has unavoidable side effects. For fueled by Hope, passion's flame flares, in places the heart protects. Yet trust realigns confused thoughts, keeping the dream of love alive. And souls find soulmates like magic, allowing fantasies to thrive. Soulmates form a duality, sharing their feelings every night. And fear retreats to the shadows, cast by the aura of love's light. Purging anguish from memories, time erases tears of regret. And resuscitates dying dreams; that hearts choose never to forget.
