"Balanus"
For Seeker Morte
True balance sets the new on par with old,
The warrior brave and gentle heart so meek,
A fire's warmth within the winter's cold,
The strong folk equal value to the weak.
While some hide treasures, others also seek --
As day does give us joy, so doth the night --
While some rest silent, others stand and speak --
Without the darkness, there could be no light.
Though some insist on peace, while others fight,
And summer's heat melts not eternal snow,
Some love the shadows, others all that's bright,
And innocence relies on those who know.
Though ages pass, one fact does e'er remain:
The stainless heart as precious as the stain.
