New Balance Seekers

Forward, towards the morn’ Towards the light that breaks through dawn Spawning a new day A new way Or a new escape. Fate unfolds only for the bold Those who seek the light Those who shun the old and stagnant way Yes, a new day brings refreshing winds of change The icy breath of renewed life At the very least, The promise of the expulsion of strife Now, the blight of the light Is that the night houses dark Which cripples adventurers before they embark As the most righteous of heroes Needs a villain for valliance The light needs the dark for balance.
