I have spent
My entire life in this
Tug of war
Between the two forces in me
Darkness and the light
Like a man with two minds

Both have been
My teachers
Repeating my lesson

So that I finally
May come to grasp
In this life
A soul needs both
In order to have
A better understanding
the subtle differences
Between,
Potential and growth
Powerful and weak
Courage and fear
Faithful and wicked
Ignorance and wisdom
The devil and God

The choice ,
Is solely
Yours
Love won't come when called.
It's blind.
You have to hold its hand and walk.
Once upon
I felt the call
To take a midnight walk
And stumbling through
The misty streets
A voice began to talk

Fear not said ye
The angels call
I must have reached the Lord
But falling through
The gravel road
The stone and I’m the sword

The king of far
And futures will
Be beckoned by the light
With fist and tongue
He rules below
The tempting of his might

And yet we see
His gentler heart
Indulging in the arts
The king at last
Usurped from throne
The Jester’s reign then starts

The midnight walk
Turns into morn
And visions fade away
But jesters in
the place of kings
Will never go away
I really like this one high key, just a nice little story with a couple interpretations
