The Beggar

Jeanne D’Orge

A LITTLE piece of your mantle, kind God …

… to cover me….

Out here in the open

The winds of Time blow death.

The world is a fiery sun

Beating upon my head.

I faint….

A piece of your mantle …

… a scrap … a single thread

Of the Eternal …

… will keep me….

Thank you, kind God!
