balance

i watch the trees.

they grow, fade, and grow again.

and yet they don't know.

the sun casts its rays.

it shines on the just and the unjust.

and yet it doesn't see.

we have a lone guide in the north star.

it remains stalwart in its mission.

and yet it isn't wise.

flowers sprout and shrivel.

the moon waxes and wanes.

shadows shroud and diminish.

all things persist.

the dark may outweigh the light,

but the light outshines the dark.
