Prompt: If time turns, will the scars
Stain the sky?
Written for contest: 090426


My dear friend.
It appears that you have set your musings
To the large arena of time and space.
You asked,  "If time turns, will scars
Stain the sky?"  To your impassioned 
Question, I am inclined to say 'Yes'.

Time does indeed move forward in a
Continuous mode: none stop, no waiting.
In so during, time unfolds and reveals the
Naked nature of mankind. Such exposure
Of nature's scars is so penetrating and dark that the clear blue sky will Indeed be severely stained.

However, in spite of the scars and stains,
There is hope and a future for all mankind.
Those scars and stains will not harm the
Rainbow in the sky.  That is because the
Rainbow is a prime party of a covenant that
God made with Noah after the destructive 
Deluge.

Indeed, time will turn until time shall be no more.
And unfortunately, scars and stains will result.
But we have good reason to be hopeful and
Comforted, because God is forever committed
to his Word, and to the best possible outcome
of mankind.
