Timeless – v4 #TarasShevchenko #Taras #Shevchenko #muse #poetry #Ukraine #Ukraina #war

Quintessential, Timeless, his voice,
His legacy, his keen eye of witness,
courageous, willing to speak against power,
to pay its awful price for Ukraine…

Timeless, an enduring presence,
His words come to life before us,
transcending time and space, language,
encircling the globe, but alive in Ukraine…

Timeless, witness, storyteller, chronicler,
No other voice sufficient, so prescient,
so urgent, so utterly compelling,
Kobzar of his people, Ukraine…

Timeless, watching down upon them
Pride in the heroes, his people joined together,
rising to the challenge of the moment, Ukraine,
resistant, resilient, resolute, United They Will Stand…
