At the dawn of time, Mother Nature ruled.
She bore two dear daughters, Shadow and Light.
Both alike in force, and fiercely, they dueled.
Alas, they remain their Mother’s Delight.
Shadow is the harbinger of Darkness.
She lives in an eternal masquerade,
Deepest, truest passions, she won’t confess.
Shrouds from prosecution, her escapade.
Light, her twin, her opposite and equal.
Her domain is day, where all truths lay bare.
When Shadow invades, there begins the squall.
Patiently, Mother waits out the affair.
Night falls, day breaks, for evermore and more.
The twins of Nature are her very core.

To My Dearest Girl
To my dearest girl: In this world, there is no rush to find a partner. There is no need to rush into a relationship or give your heart away. Entrusting your life to yourself is more stable and reassuring than entrusting it to anyone else.

Yin and Yang, darkness and light. Ever in opposite. Nice poem.
