I am light.

He is shadow.

We coexist.

Perhaps not peacefully,

But,

We do.


You say

We should not.

For, you protest,

We are opposites.

Fighting

Constantly.


Ah, my friend,

You do not understand.

I could no more destroy

My mirror

Than he could

Me.


I am day.

He is night.

One

Could not exist

Without

The other.


I am yang

He is yin.

By rights,

We should

Be warring

Constantly.


However…


If light is gone,

What is shadow?


Should night be banished,

How would you define day?


Should yang or yin fail,

What of their perfect circle?


We cannot kill

Each other

Without being killed

Ourselves.


We are,

Together,

Eternity.
