Destruction

Creation

Chaos

Peace

Death

Life

An unending cycle

An ever-growing spiral

Time creeping on

Both sides coexisting,

Lasting for eternity

Rise

Fall

Dawn

Dusk

Day

Night

The spiraling is a woven, wonderous sight.

Time creeping on

Unending in his journey

Carrying the burden of scales upon his back

Flora

Fauna

Humans

Stars

Planets

Galaxies

Decisions, decisions

Destruction, creation

Spiral forever, unending

Energy forever expending.

Malleable

Stable

Shifting

Unyielding

Time changes yet remains.

Decisions come and go,

Lights shine and fade,

The opposites always trade.

That is how it was.

Has been,

Will be,

Shall be.

Destruction

The scales will forever remain.

The unending spiraling

Time creeps on

Carrying the burden of the opposites trade

Unending in his journey

This will be, shall be.
