Burning Souls

For all courage is born in fear,
As all hope is born in despair,
So is all life bound to die,
And every breath gets us closer,
You cannot deny.
No life without darkness,
No magic without order,
But love without hate,
And peace without war,
That's what mankind should dream.
Bring out your souls and see,
The world should shine in our eyes,
In blindness and in death.

Yin and Yang - in this world all things have their polar opposite; they give birth to each other.
Is is the beauty and the power of poems such as this one that they can touch the edge of this reality and peek into another one where things might exist in their pure form, without a flipside.

Thank you kindly - I love your choice of words enormously. They just underline what I’m trying to say with this poem perfectly in a single sentence.
