i am... on a path

i am... on a path 

What lie before you is two long paths

One is dark and the other is bright

Not visible to our eye yet,

For us humans,

Both male and female

We are blinded

We are stunned

We are shocked

We are hurt

We are sad

We are mad

And we are happy

Blessed

Grateful and thankful

But also strong

As we age, we see

That not only have we made it all this way, but there is a long way to go.

These two long paths seem to cross each other

Bright

Dark

Bright

Dark

And then bright again.

Without the dark, you can’t see what’s bright.

 Without light, you can’t see what is dark.

To have well, you must have badly.

To be happy, you must know what it’s like to be sad.

But we have an endless path

Of trying to reach goals,

Dreams,

Or things we have to do

 In order to get what we desire

When being in the dark,

This gives you the eye of the light.

When being in the light,

You behold the eye of the dark.

But always keep in mind that those two paths

Will always need the dark,

As well as the light.

You’ll find your way through that black and white path of yours,

 And when you do, you will see more light than ever

 But always will stumble on a path or darkness

You’ll find your way out with light
