Unto the Poor

Folder: 
Inspirational

There was something mysterious

about the way the light shone

through the old woman's hair;

even the too-strong perfume had

a certain hypnotic effect.

She opened the brown paper bag

and sprinkled her last crumbs

to the birds gathered around her.



They took flight, taking her

treasures to heaven

to lay before the King.
