Pascha at St. Michael’s Orthodox Church
Happy Easter / Pascha to a Russian Orthodox Friend
What sort of man sits in the silent dark
And waits for a small candle to be lit
When he could reach over and flip a switch
For the miracle of electricity
Bravely to course through the building’s wired veins
The march of progress with a touch controlled
By the hand of humanity triumphant
Over Byzantine superstition. Tell us:
What hopeful sort of man waits for the dawn,
For Light to appear from a cold, sealed tomb?
