Embracing Poverty
Lo, the forgotten angel hath cast her eyes upon me.
Those deep hazel eyes hath pierced mine heart,
and from me bled all despair.
Accompanied by the warmth of a smile;
Greeted with a loving embrace.
The joyful soul knows no bounds.
But what have I for such divinity?
What may a mere peasant offer an angel?
How may rags compare to silk?
I pray to unwary gods that love suffice.
That this angel of hope care not for materials.
That my soul be enough.
So now, to this angel I present not myself,
nor do I submit that which I do not have.
Rather, I give her my mind and my soul.
