Poems (Eucharist · The Carpenter’s House · The Candle · Three Candles)
Trei meditații lirice în limba engleză — Eucharist, The carpenter's house și The candle — explorează tainele Euharistiei, ale Întrupării și Răstignirii lui Hristos, și ale luminii liturgice ca apărare împotriva morții și întunericului, oferind cititorului o contemplație poetică a prezenței divine în elementele cele mai simple: pâinea, vinul și flacăra lumânării.

Poems by Bishop Vartolomeu Stănescu
Three lyric poems by Bishop Vartolomeu Stănescu of Râmnic — Psalm of Dawn, By the Sea and Golgotha — published in the volume Spiritual Fruits and Proven Realities (1934), explore themes of divine creation, social suffering and the sacrifice of Christ, interweaving contemplation of nature with prayer and compassion for the oppressed.
Poems by Horia Zilieru
Four poems in Romanian — Fresco in Azure, Icon on Glass, Close to Childhood and If Not, Forgiveness — explore mystical and liturgical themes: the search for divine identity, sacrifice, purity and forgiveness, through surrealist imagery that blends biblical, cosmic and folkloric symbols into a lyricism of spiritual intensity.
The poem A Father’s Sorrows explores three aspects of fatherhood: a father’s joy at the birth of his daughter, a dying father’s repentance towards the son he has neglected, and a reflection on the spiritual identity of the Romanian people, rooted in the Orthodox faith and in the sacrifice of past generations.
