It is a time of things old,
A time of things new;
It is a time of grey skies,
And a time of skies blue.
~
It is a time of gradual beginnings,
A time of abrupt endings;
It is a time of knowing to be bold
And a time of self-surrendering.
~
It is a time of dreams come true,
A time of hopes and lives destroyed;
It is a time of scientific admiration,
And a time of environment annoyed.
~
It is a time of spontaneous bursts of love,
A time of inexplicable impulsive hate;
It is a time of refusing to submit to reality,
And a time of embracing what brings fate.
It is a time of promising failures,
A time of unfortunate successes;
It is a time of lack of resources,
And a time of cruel excesses.
~
It is a time of needless luxuries,
A time of great need;
It is a time of loving charity,
And a time of ruthless greed.
~
It is a time of deep fulfillment,
A time of endless longing;
It is a time of painful alienation,
And a time of finally belonging.
~
It is a time of times light,
A time of times dark;
It is a time of deadened hearts,
And a time of souls sparked.
~
It is, alas,
A time of polar opposites;
And we must strive to grow, love and flourish,
Somehow, inside of it.
And God knows Best.
