Timeless

Timeless, his voice, his legacy,
his keen eye of witness, courageous,
willing to speak out against power,
to pay its awful costs for Ukraine…
 
Timeless, an enduring presence,
his words come to life before us,
transcending time and space,
encircling the globe but alive in Ukraine…
 
Timeless, witness, storyteller, chronicler,
no other voice sufficient, so prescient,
so urgent, so utterly compelling,
the Kobzar of his people, Ukraine…
 
Timeless, watching down upon them
pride in the heroes, the people together,
rising to the challenge of the moment, Russia,
resistant, resilient, resolute, united they stand…
