The Gods Are Silent - Alexis Karpouzos Poem by Alexis karpouzos

The gods are silent in a naked sky,
the stars glitter,
but the eyes of human are closed,
looking through the shadows.
If the Mountains fall and seas divide
life brings men into deep waters,
not to drown them, but to cleanse them.
To live a life that matters,
make the house,
where Gods may dwell,
there, in the temple of the soul
we will not die an unlived life.
we will not live in fear of falling
there, the dark stars waiting
with their light
to draw the veil from truth.
