Within the depths of night we can miss the light
But when it’s light we can crave the comfort of the night,
Contradictions in living do we ever know what we want
Balance is the only thing in a life of impermanence,
Being present changes everything
It changes what we want into what we need,
Seldom what we want is good for us
Where is what we need improves what must,
Keep us in balance and helps us to survive
And grow into beings that are more likely to evolve,
As what we want comes from a lustful heart
But what we need comes from the root of our soul,
What we want and what we need
Are two very different beasts in the end,
But for some this is a different concept
That goes beyond some people’s ken,
Light and darkness are both our friends
But some fear darkness signifies the end,
Where light manifests as new beginnings
Yet darkness can enable dreaming,
And light can expose our warped meanings,
But balance give our life true reasons
To focus on not what we want but what we need.
