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.
