Yin Yang

The sun of day ceases so rest may come.
Darkness reminds us to savor the fleeting light.
Coldness must come so we can truly feel warm.
In the depths of the frozen winter, we await summer--
Only to curse the blazing sun.
Shiver or sweat--we could not know one with out the other.
Just as we cannot feel true joy without knowing pain.
We cannot rejoice in spirit
If we know nothing of grief.
Loneliness shows us the value of others.
Mistakes teach us what is right.
And so the universe seeks balance--
Karmic energy moves us.
The heart and the mind must join;
The masculine and the feminine must coincide and cooperate.
Logic and emotion must seek the middle path.
The battle between good and evil will rage on
Defining for us how to be human in the universe.
Life creates, but death destroys,
So life can begin again.
In the day there are shadows,
And even at night the stars and the moon in the heavens
Cast a glimmer of light on the face of the Earth.
