A Ripple In Time

The reflection of history on the lake of time is a repetitive cycle of dark and light. Every once in a while a drop of change falls to create ripples that reach the borders of humanity. The greater good has no victory nor loss, but constantly battles its opponent to balance nature's way. The war is fierce and fought in silence, humanity only experiencing the shifts of a game much larger than our comprehension. Sometimes the drops turned to gallons and we reached a new dawn to find that time perseveres, but night returns. Sometimes storms wreck and we barely survive between wars and famines and pestilences.... But perhaps there will come someone or something balancing nature at last, setting dawn into eternity, creating the last ripple in time.
