Orion

by Sergiu Olteanu


A semi-god creating an infinite destiny,
a spring of life and tumult,
a bridge among the generations of suns,
condemned to brighten in the abyss ...

Your sacrifice in the sky
gives birth to the ethereal triumphs.

Rising after the twilight in the winter,
you project lights to our dark destiny.

A human destiny
on a celestial Earth.
