Temple of Janus

Ovid was an ancient poet. The temple of Janus was closed during times of peace in the Roman Empire.

Cry with me at the altar of peace,
we can leave behind what was once said,
denying all truth of possibility.

These gates shall close; troubled times
leave a shrouded mist of deceit
with all honesty in a mask.

Ovid’s tale, a meadow of green
in his daydreamer song;
times change through windows.

Meet with me at the altar of peace
and we will walk hand in hand,
indifferent and accepting.

[Andromeda]

i really like how the poem is about an ancient poet but it also seems to be about modern life. it's timeless.
