Balance

I think of life, knowing not what it is,
And contemplate the birth of hatreds.
I don't want to imagine a world where enmity reigns supreme,
You know deep down exactly what I mean.
Without hate, we would not recognize the love we cherish so dear,
We wouldn't value it, it's significance not even slightly clear.
I wish for the world to only love,
But I do not want affection to lose it's meaning.
No matter the one you share the feeling above,
From within all of this hate, your love you're weening.
Soon to flourish with blossoms of joy,
Our love is something we must simply enjoy.
