If all men were born warriors <br />Would there be peace? <br />If all stars shined with glory <br />Would we have a night? <br />If all dreams were reached <br />Would there be wisdom for us to teach? <br />And would there be nightmares <br />For our minds to fight <br /> <br />There is no fire without smoke <br />No sea without ships <br />No king without crown <br />Nor whispers without lips <br /> <br />There are no heavens without gods <br />No faith without hope <br />No spring with no rose <br />Nor a harbour without rope <br /> <br />There is no light without shadow <br />No mountain without a climb <br />No passion without love <br />Nor hands without time <br /> <br />If there was no balance <br />How would everything weigh? <br />There would be no dreams <br />Without nightmares to slay <br />Challenge the balance <br />To conquer your dreams <br />To climb without climbing <br />Would it really be a dream? <br /> <br />©Copyright Anna Andrews 2010<br /><br />Anna Andrews<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-balance-5/
