The Creation of Destruction

What we create,

And what we destroy,

Are simply two sides,

Of the very same mirror,

Reflecting who we are,

Or nothing at all.

When we create beauty,

By taking of the living,

And adding life plenty,

Through the sweat of our hands,

And the pain of our hearts,

We destroy destruction.

When we create colors,

By taking what was not,

From imagination’s shadows,

Thus making it real,

We bring dreams to life,

In creating creation.

When we create darkness,

To fill our heart’s empty place,

Far more vast than space,

Which only love can replace,

Then possibility withers,

As we obliterate hope.
