The Golden Spiral

For Jiho, following a conversation.
Title taken from Primordial's The Golden Spiral. 

So very planar are we to think
the endless loops of our lives to be
merely circular, arcing transversally.
Take the bottom rim of your empty glass,
manipulate it three-dimensionally,
and watch as the world turns concurrently.
Infinity is a simple thing; entropy and
progression are far more complex.
It is a golden spiral on which we
are ascending (or descending) perpetually.
The golden spiral stands as monument,
ominously, in the nexus deep within.
Bravery to partake in our own interrogation;
prospection to move us upward.
Diversity in what makes us
happy and free should be paramount
in this, our grand enterprise of living,
our ascending up the golden spiral.
