Heaven on Earth


The ancient temples are aging
their services have served their time
the hour has come
to save their hymnal empire
within us

The images are fading
from the age-old icons
may their light be preserved
on our present-day faces

Time erodes
the Saviour’s features from the frescoes—
it is time
our own features
became more lifelike and clear
