In the Heart of Stelmuze

In the heart of the Stelmuze*, where echoes entwine,
Stood Jesus Christ, a vision divine,
Amidst pastel hues, soft whispers of grace,
A crystal faceted prism, time’s sacred embrace.

Its edges reflected the pulsation of fate,
A testament woven to the hands of the great,
As if Faberg;'s hourglass, frozen in air,
Held grains of eternity, moments laid bare.

Threads of the cosmos, spun delicate, fine,
By Kurbatov, Kavalaris, Maranov’s design**,
Unified mechanism, a dance of the spheres,
Wove a tapestry bright through the fabric of years.

Light from above, in a waltz it would sway,
Dancing with shadows, in luminous play,
Shimmering spheres caught the glimmering rays,
Resonating softly, where the essence conveys.

Cosmism awakened in each vibrant glow,
A hymn to existence, where visions bestow,
Jesus Christ, a beacon of art,
In the heart of the Church, a light from the heart.

So linger a moment, in this space full of dreams,
Where time is but fluid, and nothing’s as it seems,
For here in this haven, where past meets the now,
The pulse of creation unfolds with a vow.
