The Temple of Glass

A sleepless night leads the narrator into a strange, dream‑like vision of a Temple of Glass, a shining structure perched on a craggy rock. The glass walls reflect an uncanny light that seems to pulse with every step, drawing the speaker deeper into the marble‑bright interior. As he moves through the aisles, the space feels both fragile and timeless, a place where the ordinary world slips away.

Within the temple, the walls are covered in vivid frescoes of ancient myths and legendary lovers. Scenes of heroic quests, tragic betrayals, and fleeting romances flash in bright, almost jewel‑like colours, each tableau offering a glimpse of familiar stories told anew. The poet’s voice shifts from reverent description to quiet contemplation, inviting listeners to linger on the emotional resonance of each legend.

The piece blends medieval language with a modern sense of wonder, creating a lyrical journey that feels like wandering through an illuminated manuscript. Listeners will be drawn into the delicate balance of light and shadow, and the timeless humanity that glimmers behind every painted scene.
