Yin-Yang

Walking around,
looking down and see a pool of Light.
Getting a closer look,
and notice a little piece of Darkness.
Turn around,
and see a pool of Darkness.
Getting a closer look,
and notice a piece of Light.
Stuck in the middle,
nowhere to run.

Where Do You Find It

Darkness is found in the sea of light, 
Light is found in the sea of darkness.
Dip into the darkness, 
and find a glimpse of light.
Dip into the Light, 
and find a glimpse of Darkness.

Eye of Light

The Eye of Light,
Surrounding a little piece of Darkness.
Light trying to overlap the Darkness,
but one cannot exist without the other.
If the Darkness is gone forever,
the light will be the dominate force in the world,
The world will be imbalanced.
The Darkness is gone,	
The Light is taking over.
Darkness disappears,
Light dominates.

Darkness Follows

Where do I find the light within the darkness?
What will happen if I can’t find it?
If I run away from the darkness, 
Will it follow me?
I escaped the Darkness, 
and wonder into the light.

Eye of Darkness

The Eye of Darkness, 
surrounding a little piece of Light.
The Darkness try to over,
but one cannot exist without the other.
If the Darkness takes over,
the world will be in chaos.
Light will be gone forever,
Darkness will be the dominant force in the world.

Inside

Inside the heart lies two pieces of energy,
there is a light energy,
There is a dark energy.

Beings of light,
you think that you have complete light inside.
In reality,
there is always a piece of darkness inside you.

Beings of darkness,
you think that you have complete darkness inside. 
In reality,
there is always a piece of light inside you.

Listen

The light in your heart, 
is talking.
The darkness in your heart, 
is talking.
Which part do you listen to?
Listen to what truly resides in your heart

Eye of the In-Between

A pool of Light, 
a pool of Darkness.
In the middle, 
a line runs through.
To the right is Darkness,
To the left is Light.
Step to the left and enter the Light,
or, Step to the right and enter the Darkness.
Choose wisely.

Where Do You Fall

If you fall into darkness, 
you become part of it.
If you fall into the light, 
you become part of it.
If you fall in between, 
do you become part of it?
When the light follows, 
Make a choice.
When the darkness follows, 
Make a choice.
When there is no choice, 
find a way.

Come In

Come in the Light,
escape the Darkness.
As the Light gets brighter,
the Darkness fades.

Come in the Darkness,
escape the Light.
As the Darkness grows,
the Light gets dimmer.

Two choices,
which on will you go to?
