'Balance' Poem by Marvin Brato Sr

Light is the source of shadow
without it then darkness reigns
like the sun as it rises to height
darkness diminishes to a shadow
when the sun sets dark dominates.

Light is the gauge of shadow
the more you go near its source
bigger becomes your dark reflection
but when you go far from its distance
then your shadow shrinks to a minute.

Light and darkness compensate each side
so one has to stand on the proper ground
to make the equilibrium of life's existence
going extremes to either pole may be wrong
so it is wiser to live our thing in candid balance.
