The polycyclicity of the candles
begun at the monastery
of St. Panteleimonas
when we chanted
Byzantine hymns and we said
the Lord’s Prayer
because the light was passed on
to everyone
in order to enlighten
the vacant church
at the occupied territories
in the accompaniment
of human lights
which were not stopped
by barbarism
as hard as it was tried
because our aim
would not be altered
by anything.
