Temple In Prepolovinkino Poem by Liza Sud

Temple In Prepolovinkino

Rating: 5.0


Temple in Prepolovinkino -
walls here are empty and bare.
so easy for me to pray here,
As if one on purpose has made it.

I do not need: lux, decoration,
I do not need: Icons and gilding.
A need only space that is empty
as if from the Holy Spirit!

And faces are saint of those people,
and white, and in purity clean walls.
and I want to be always with them.
Your temple - it is a pure heaven!

I didn’t see such long ago,
Got used to the churches of Piter.
But here – no one - so simple –
Has caused such a feeling of Wonder!

Truth shines with silence and purity in pure temple of heaven and in a pure spiritual mind. Wonderful feeling is shared in this poem with definite purpose. An interesting and expressive poem is shared here. Temple in Prepolovinkino remains in memory.10

I was drawn to this poem because of the word for its location was so unusual to my English-speaking mind. But what I found in the poem was an amazing encounter with silence and truth. In this very plain, undecorated temple you found the very emptiness suffused with spirituality. There is an exchange going on in this poem between the purity of the place and an answering purity in you. And your fulfillment of your spiritual goal spills over the poem and touches me. (My poem BETWEEN STONE AND STARS is about my visit to a church I knew as a child but had not been inside for some 25 years. Like yours, it is about spiritual fulfillment.)
