Lost in a blur of uselessness and regret, we lament.
No longer given to joviality, we sink, unhinged.
Losing our sanity, we give ourselves to implosive ways.
Destructive, unproductive ways gripping the soul, we cry.
Darkness captivating the soul, we long for release.
Lost in a maze of chaotic choices, reality awakens.
As light begins to penetrate, insight breathes stability.
As deceit to masses exposes, illusions come to light,
Rejecting collective thought of the masses; we awaken.
Awakened from delusional thinking, we look for hope within.
Light penetrating darkness once captivating, hope springs.
Giving ourselves to lucid thinking, hope emerges, unhinged.
Destructive ways no longer gripping, sanity returns profusely.
Sanity taking hold, eyes wide open, the way forward is paved.
No longer slaves to collective reasoning we breathe relief.
Fully awakened, joyfulness replenishes the dry soul.
Finding purpose and vision, uselessness dissipates.
Nurtured, filled with promise, we discover purposeful living.
Thankful for light penetrating the darkness, we set our sights
Pressing forward, we cling relentlessly to newfound purpose.
And this, knowing the season, that already it is time for you to awake out of sleep: for now is salvation nearer to us than when we first believed.
Romans 13:11-12
