Arbitrary timestamp of Earth’s revolution?

Or a cycle of ordered chaos, of seasons of revelation?

Dancing between good and evil, in thyself and in others

Infected with the filth of pride, I know of no virus worse

Humility and hope, the cure amidst despair and curse

The evil of the world is in thy heart, nay what you have been told

Despite the darkness in your soul, you still have the duty to be bold

Stumbling forward, failing upwards

A little bit towards heaven, perhaps a bit away from hell

Inching closer to the divine, social distancing from the stale

A milestone to be put, a vantage post to hold

While looking to the present, peering in to the past

With better lenses and wiser eyes, you will be cast

Making the past truly past, the future already bright.
