The Truth's Herald, Poem by Liza Sud

The Truth's Herald,

I wanted to be the Truth's herald,
the mouthpiece of Pravoslavie.
but I fell in love with dissension,
dazzleded by their fantasies.

I love their game, they are twinkling
as many sparks in heaven,
and like a tasty drinking
they induce me into temptation.

I love their extreme forms
and sound combinations,
but what you think is pervert -
was bilingually checked already.

I want to be friends with the ROC,
so that it would not offend me.
Once holy - she should love all,
accept as we are at exit.

I don't want eternal fire.
(It seems - heresy of Origen)
I want to know only love,
the truth of any emotions.

And you would ask: how the Judge?
The emotions - are often atrocious.
But I answer: all tears - will be wiped.
That's the highest Light of all prophecies!

***

Я хотела быть глашатаем истины,
рупором Православия.
но влюбилась в инакомыслие,
ослепленная их фантазиями.

Я люблю их игру, как искры,
в небе они мерцают,
и меня, подобно напитку
вкусному, к себе манят.

Я люблю их крайние формы
звуковых сочетаний,
что вам кажется извращенным-
то проверено билингвально.

Я хочу дружить с РПЦ,
чтоб Она меня не обидела.
Раз святая - пусть любит всех,
принимает, как есть, на выходе.

Я не верю в вечный огонь.
(это кажется - ересь, Ориген)
Я хочу знать только любовь
и правдивость любых эмоций.

А вы спросите: как же суд?
Мир эмоций - часто жестокий.
Я отвечу: все слезы - отрут.
Это - высший Свет всех пророчеств!

I'm persuaded by the overall tone of your appeal even though I don't understand all of the references (eg. what's pravoslavie? I'm assuming ROC is Russian Orthodox Church.) Your feel you cannot be TRUTH'S HERALD because you're not fully orthodox, but you do become a Herald of Truths - Orthodoxy admits only a singular truth, yopu are arguing for multiple truths. I think you make an eloquent case for expanding rather than restericting what is acceptable or ORTHODOX. You're opening the church doors and letting in more of the sacred than orthodoxy presently acknowledges. That is the truth you are heralding.
