“... Will you accept alone This new Golgotha?” - Vahan Terian

Where are you carrying your black wooden Cross,
Oh, my tormented Soul? - is there a new Golgotha
That you shall mount with pride - and people will
admire your luminous crown with infinite love? 

Are you ascending the mount today as Jesus?
Or... just a robber condemned to death?
Is every man today a Pilate
Washing his hands of you? 

What crown of light?... And how will you, my Soul,
Ascend Golgotha with a willful passion, when, alas,
You don’t know yourself  whether you are Jesus or
Judas? 

And do you have, my Soul, the ruthless scales 
To measure this immeasurable thought -
In this black midnight of your suffering...
