16490 - Your torches

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Evi Charitidou

Keep your torches
unquenched
not only in order
to have them
always ready
since you do not know
when the Lord
will come
but also to illuminate
the path
and in this way each one
may help
the help
so that one
later on through years
will be able
to show
the whole work
justifying
one’s life
without having
any need
to prove
anything
to the others
since
the just judge
directly
knows
one’s value
owing to worthy fame.
