A single red rose, Alone in a field. All by itself. Nothing to shield. The sun is shining, In the summer sky. The heat is killing. The world is dry. Winds from the east. Dark clouds hover above.

Light And Dark (for @Stablish's Contest)

One in the dark, one in the light, The two men gathered to start their fight. Neither had the advantage, but opposites they were, As they move closer together, no one can help but stop and stare.
