[bodytext] => Deep in a valley beneath the mountains high
Under the light of a starry sky
Lay two rose bushes close together
Blooming in all sorts of weather
The rose of darkness black as night
The rose of light a beautiful white
One gets darker with every misdeed
The other whiter when good works breed
No one knows what would happen one day
If one of the roses were to fade away
Would the world be filled with tears?
Or would it take away all our fears?
We need both to balance out our life
To appreciate the good we need the strife
Learn from the darker times and prepare
To thank the Creator when good times are there

I really liked this and strangely it reminded me of my Aunt Rose (aka the Tiger Lady, diminutive in size truculent in stature) who was a force of nature on her own and somehow dimly I can hear her saying in compliment to this piece: "You can't have the good without the bad."
Lovely imagery of cosmic forces in balance.
Well Done
Thank You
Peace

A lovely write beautifully penned. In life I think that you can't have the good without the bad. You balance it out well within your write. Well done my dear friend.
