✒️ #ManolisAnagnostakis, Greek poet, #DOTD 23 June 2005. #Poetry #Literature

It is his voice buzzing round in the crowd like a sun
Embracing the world like a sun slashing through grief like the sun
Showing us like a bright sun the golden cities
Spreading before us bathed in Truth and the clear light.
Charis 1944, Epochs, 38, #ManolisAnagnostakis
