Midwinter light
Let me keep you in my heart
and warm you for the winter
in protection of my piety
against the coldness of adversities
and try to vest you with a better life
without the hardships and the sufferings
that you indeed did not deserve.
If I could just assuage the outrage
of your tormentous afflictions,
it certainly would be a triumph
for my tenderest ambitions,
and I would not hesitate
to be most actively consistent
about carrying through that quest
of humble love and tender faith
towards our sorely tried relationship
that is the more ideal
for all your sufferings and our trials.
Let this be my offering to you
out of the darkness of midwinter
as the smallest but the most enduring light
of love that so far never failed.
