Two halves of the same Yin

I walked a path of gloom and dread
With every single step I tread
Down windswept paths,
And grassy hills
And beyond to the fields and mills

My path isn’t so free
As merry as the bird on wing
To care, the day’s cares away
In perfect harmony

Ups and downs forever will
In hearts and minds, never still
When glory, from all closed doors
A rose emerged from field of thorns

Beauty bloomed outward and in,
A lady stands and gracefully sings
The song unique and of the moment
The melody as magical as the joy that she brings.

She walks forth,
Elegant and powerful,
She strides with confidence

Hand in hand with destiny
Embracing and cherishing her dreams,

Down a beaten woodland track
She sits in awe, of nature revealed
As I tread my path closer
I am beyond field and mills

We sit in the clearing
Listening to the soundtrack of the stars
Talking of dreams and hopes
of our pasts, and of our scars

We reach into the future and walk forth
The past a gem,
In the shadows of night
We pass into destiny
As the new dawn chases away the night.
