If I search and seek inside my mind <br />The deeper I look the more I find <br />Exists a spiritual duality of darkness and light <br />My soul mirrors the world, the day and the night <br />In the darkness I seek the light to guide <br />From the sunlight I seek a shadow to hide <br />The dark is my shield, the light is my blade <br />They guide and protect me, the light and the shade <br />They are the sides of coin, opposed yet part of the same <br />They the sides of a blade, one cold one aflame <br />This is the spiritual duality of darkness and light <br />The immortal struggle of the day and the night <br />Two sides of one coin, two sides of one blade <br />The darkness and light, tools used yet obeyed <br />The shade of the daylight, the light in the night <br />Our immortal mortality, our hope yet our plight <br />The darkness a shield, the light a bright sword <br />To refuse their protection we cannot afford <br />Their immortal struggle, mirrored in our souls <br />They both play their parts, they both have their roles <br />A spiritual duality the darkness and light <br />A reflection of reality the day and the night<br /><br />Tim Vallie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-duality-of-darkness-and-light/
