Affirmation
I dive deep where only light reigns
roots of my ancestors and
the pieta of cyclamens I meet
in search for a beacon;
the beacon, when on the love for all
enameled images I stumble.

A man, how did he see man?
A man, a giant, how did he see man?
Δομήνικος Θεοτοκόπουλος, Κρης, εποίει*
A humble affirmation
of lineage, parents, siblings,
of where a person comes from,
of where such a soul originates.
Reminder of where a woman’s womb
nurtured another splendorous sun
another man
where a woman’s womb graced life
with the spirit of the Eternal.

My quest I underscore for the one
I crave to uphold, once again.
A simple pronouncement of
where a man comes from until
the latter moons when all universe
prides to call Him her son
latter sunlit days when the roots
reflect on the membrane of man’s
thought and the lining of man’s
greed claims the remains as
a moonless night encodes
where this man comes from.
